 Hi,
 
 I maintain ExtUtils::MakeMaker.  This patch is a correct solution to the
 conflict between ExtUtils::MakeMaker and ExtUtils::Install.  MakeMaker is
 supposed to depend on ExtUtils::Install, but to do so normally would introduce
 a dependency loop.
 
 A less invasive solution would be to delete the contents of bundled.  Make
 sure the bundled dependencies are marked as package dependencies.
 
 PS  If there is some sort of environment variable FreeBSD sets while creating
 a package, I could have MakeMaker watch for that.  It would not use the
 bundled versions and instead declare them as dependencies.
 
 Thanks,
 Schwern
