Hm. I don't know whether I should take this one in as I'm rather from
the automake/autoconf than Makefile.PL camp ;-). In fact I also thought
about porting this thing over to python because I already made quite
some bugs in it due to my lack of perl experience... Feel free to bash
me for it ;-). Thanks anyway, even if not the whole patch will make it
in.

Will do one for the next release.

Thanks! Even if I ported it to python, the man page is a real asset,
I'll keep it in any case.

Hmm, --dryrun or --dry-run ;-)? Possibly both.

I already fixed that (Dag spotted it already).

This is likely a bug only affecting packages with sub-packages which is
already fixed.
