20 The "Makefile.PL" gets recreated by ImageMagick's configure. Normally,
21 it contains a huge list of libraries in the linker call. If lots of
22 use-flags are turned off, we might run into problems if we simply use
23 the Makefile.PL (which exists, but as i said, it _normally_ gets
24 re-created when running configure).
25
26 So before PerlMagick becomes independant of ImageMagick's configure,
27 upstream must change a few things.
