perl5.8 port moves BSDPAN path in front of site_perl

[milki]

For sometime, I've been ignoring the build warning from Module::Build:

Checking prerequisites...
  requires:
      !  Couldn't find a $VERSION in prerequisite ExtUtils::MakeMaker

I know that p5-ExtUtils is installed with the correct version so it
didn't really matter. But I also know that CPAN's version of
ExtUtils::MakeMaker does have a $VERSION line.

So I've finally investigated this and found out that Module::Build is
not looking at p5-ExtUtil's MakeMaker but perl5.8's BSDPAN
ExtUtil::MakeMaker. I traced this back to a commit made in 2005 [0],
which places the BSDPAN before site_perl.

Is there any reason that this version of MakeMaker is bundled with
perl5.8?
