	- staticperl mkperl or mkapp didn't clean up temporary files.
        - PPI::XS seems to be broken, directly depend on PPI.

1.42 Mon Mar  5 08:16:02 CET 2012
	- actually, really do it.

1.41 Mon Mar  5 08:14:11 CET 2012
	- temporarily patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker because newer versions
          break Pod::Parser.

1.4  Mon Jul 18 09:33:48 CEST 2011
	- new configuration variable DLCACHE to avoid repeated downloads.
        - the static:: namespace was wrongly documented as sttaicperl::.
        - provide no compiler flags apart from -Os anymore by default.
        - staticperl clean now removes all build files (src/).
        - staticperl no longer sets EV_EXTRA_DEFS or CORO_INTERFACE.
        - patch ExtUtils::Miniperl to always include DynaLoader, otherwise
          static linking disables later dynamic linking and vice versa.
        - (experimental) do not build a new perl unless a static archive
          was created, to make -Dusedl faster.
        - actually fail when not being able to install some modules from CPAN.
        - speed up installing modules from CPAN if multiple modules have
          been specified.
	- weed out duplicated libraries form the beginning, not the end.
        - set shell variable $PERL to full path to perl binary
          when running staticperl cpan, which is handy for subshells.
        - properly define "boot_DynaLoader" when DynaLoader is available.
        - fix a memleak in static::list.
        - mkbundle can now bundle dynamic objects for perl extensions
          (--allow-dynamic).
        - lots of windows workarounds/bugfixes.

1.31 Tue Jun 14 09:03:59 CEST 2011
	- pause is more tricky than expected - rename fake.pm to Staticperl.pm.
        - improved documentation a bit.

1.3  Tue May 10 19:39:39 CEST 2011
	- the nothing-to-see-except-a-version-bump release.
	- package a fake.pm file to (maybe!) get CPAN to allocate namespace
          for us, as people have real trouble to install the distribution.

1.22  Sun May  1 11:28:54 CEST 2011
	- prepend staticperl binary install path to PATH when running any
          commands - will help many broken modules and scripts (e.g. those
          using the broken #!env perl hack), but will also make life easier
          for "staticperl cpan / look" users.
	- use empty PERL_OPTIMIZE flags in testsuite for higher portability.
        - unset PERL_CORE and PERL_MB_OPT variables because
          these modules are part of perl - set them in your staticperlrc
          instead.
        - disable MAN1PODS and MAN3PODS in PERL_MM_OPT, to make Glib, Cairo,
          Pango and Gtk2 build.
        - patch ExtUtils::MM_Unix to search for static archives in blib more
          often, as it doesn't detect Pango as being an XS module (which
          is a bug in Pango).
	- create a patch helper (SP-patch-postinstall) that is executed
          after perl and eahc module install to do some important patches.
	- rename the cpan-make-inmstall helper to SP-make-install-make.
        - write mkbundle to bin/SP-mkbundle.
        - new "staticperl perl" command.
        - updated small/bigperl to 5.12.3.

1.21  Fri Mar 18 19:21:15 CET 2011
	- ok, irix tar has no working -f and freebsd tar goes to a device
          by default, so screw irix and go with freebsd.
	- some bloke thought it's cool to force dynamic linking on darwin.
          force as in "either you enable it, or the resulting build will be
          forcefully broken". proves that whoever uses darwin deserves it.
          anyway, we now patch away the idiocy in the hints file.
        - for better portability, do not supply -Wl,--no-gc-sections
          -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition, but sitll patch -Wl,--no-gc...
        - new hook: patchconfig.

1.2   Mon Mar 14 00:11:15 CET 2011
        - patch CPAN::HandleConfig as there seems to be no other way to
          keep it from clobbering the users MyConfig.pm accidentally.
        - call cpan internally in a way so it picks up only our MyConfig.pm,
          for extra safety and the initial calls before patching.
        - set default cpan "installer" to EUMM, and MB is too broken
          (it fails to build extensions statically).
	- use "tar x" only to accomodate irix (and possibly other systems).

1.11  Tue Mar  8 18:37:00 CET 2011
	- no longer create bundle variable names from md5(data),
          as it is no longer useful.
        - fix output shortening in testsuite.

1.1   Thu Feb 24 07:20:22 CET 2011
	- use a better -M syntax.
	- the one-arg form of add/binadd was broken.
	- --add and --binadd now use the file as alias if the alias is missing.
	- embeddable bundle files were broken because "args"
          was used before defined.
	- mkapp now actually passes arguments to the boot script.
	- more cpan-testers workarounds :/.
        - implement an ignore-env option for mkbundle.
        - use, not just require, modules when tracing their dependencies.
        - support an optional xs_init argument to staticperl_init, which
          can be 0 (and is then ignored).
        - reduce PERL_ARENA_SIZE to something more reasonable for perl 5.12.
        - use perl 5.12.3 by default.
        - enable debug symbols by default (but not the dreaded -DDEBUGGING).

1.0   Mon Jan 10 15:13:19 CET 2011
        - specify -Uinstallusrbinperl in configure to avoid creating
          /usr/bin/perl.
        - try to work around the totally broken /bin/sh on solaris
          (only in the testsuite).
	- use curl -f instead of just curl.
        - prefer curl over wget again, as cpan seems to do so.
        - clarify license.

0.92  Wed Dec 22 02:09:19 CET 2010
	- major rework of the PHASE 2 documentation section, hopefully
          it's now more clear, more useful, more sexy.
        - renamed --usepacklist to --usepacklists (--usepacklist still
          supported as abbreviation).
	- "properly" get rid of SITELIB paths, avoid using -U compiler flags
          (which didn't even do anything...).
        - avoid export var=value syntax for non-unix shells (solaris...).
        - better output in the error case from the testsuite.
