Special thanks goes to Andy Lester, who has been, still is and
will remain an inspiration to many programmers, myself included.

1.54 Tue Dec 8 09:11:00 CST 2009
This release could not have happened without Sawyer X.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added more exclusions. Thanks to Olivier Mengué.

* Fix slashing problems for Windows. Thanks Olivier Mengué.
* Complains about extra unparsed options to try to detect
problems that come out of misquoted variables. Thanks to Gunnar Wolf.

which you can turn into .cvsignore, .gitignore, MANIFEST.SKIP
or whatever.
* Handles authors with apostrophes in their names better.
Thanks to, not surprisingly, Dave O'Neill.
* Removed module requirements on Test::Pod and Test::Pod::Coverage
for Module::Starter to be built and installed. However,
t/pod.t and t/pod-coverage.t do still both get created even
if either of their two main modules are not installed.

* Added Perl Training Australia's getting-started.html

[ENHANCEMENTS]
* broke Module::Starter::Simple's README_guts and module_guts
methods into smaller, override-able pieces
* re-factored Module::Starter::Simple's build system; the

allows us access to the metadata from the test suite. It
also makes it a bit easier to add supported builders.

* wrote a test suite for running module-starter
* wrote a test suite for Module::Starter::BuildSet
* modified the critic Makefile target to name the policy which
raised the violation

* corrected build -> builder in module-starter --help docs

[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Moved some data (distro, basedir) from parameters to object data
* Moved some data (rtname) from routine-local to parameter data
* Correted lies in POD regarding args to create_distro
* Every create_file method now calls a file_guts method to get
contents.
* All the quoted POD inline should now not render in perldoc.
* The module-build script now respects --class
* Minor refactoring of parameters to create_directory and _module
* Everything is now an overridable object method. Thanks to
