      declaration was still necessary. Now I've reworked things so that
      scalars, arrays and hashes get exported during BEGIN, but subroutines
      get exported during INIT. It's not that simple though; read the source
      to find out what kinds of hoops I had to jump through.

	- TOTAL rewrite. Now that perl 5.8.0 is out, we have attributes
	  on 'our' variables. This means we don't have to clumsily export
	  globals, nor do we need to export lexicals (which was a weird
	  concept anyway). So there's no need for Filter::Simple and
	  PadWalker or any of the ugly workarounds that introduced. And
	  once it occurred to me that Exporter::Simple could just subclass
	  Exporter, and modules wanting to use Exporter::Simple could
	  subclass it, things were a lot easier. Now using the attributes
	  will populate the exporting package's @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK
	  and %EXPORT_TAGS direcltly, and we let Exporter have its way
	  (with a few slight modifications).

	  It's beautiful. And more proof of the old adage "if it's too
	  complicated, there's probably something wrong with it" - when
	  it's right, it's rather simple and elegant and things easily
