It also screws with the maintenance policy set in Maintainers.PL, but
considering the magnitude of the change, that's the least of the problems.
Zefram: You're welcome to apply your patch to the git repository that I
set up for doing CPAN releases from: https://github.com/tsee/PathTools.
If you let me know what your github user id is (there is a zefram, is
that you?), then I'll add you to the committers there. I'm also happy to
cut a release and/or organize PAUSE co-maint permissions for you.
Best regards,
Steffen
