	Perhaps these two comments can be combined: use perl/Makefile
as glue between the top-level Makefile and
perl/ColdSync/Makefile{,.PL} . That way, the top-level Makefile
doesn't get polluted with all sorts of extraneous MakeMaker-related
nastiness, and the Perl Makefile still gets whatever hand-holding it
needs.

	Besides, CVS doesn't like it when you move files around, and
gets downright cranky when you move directories.

	The thing that tripped me up originally was that I didn't see
the "Advanced Options" button in the kernel config tool (maybe the
fact that it was only the second time I'd tried building Linux kernel
had something to do with it).
	Other people on this list are much more familiar with Linux
than I am, so I'll let them jump in.
