Thanks for the reply.  Quick clarifications:

The man page is now man3/bundles::Error::Error.3 which is equally as incorrect
as man3/private-Error.3.  It is possible to correct that so it's man3/Error.3,
but that's going to require some effort.  Basically its in the same boat as
PM.  Once you have to change one you have to change them all.

Why do install scripts have specific code to look for that man page?

To delete it. :)

Ideally, that second Makefile would go away.  Parallel build systems are extra
work and generate bugs.

Agreed --- I'd love to see the NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER option go away.

The log suggests it might have something to do with people wanting to build
with an ActiveState Perl on Cygwin or something?  MakeMaker builds different
Makefiles depending on the OS, so it may be as simple as telling Makefile.PL
what flavor of make you're using.

I think the main user is the ordinary Git for Windows build (which
uses perl 5.8.8, from mingw or msys I imagine).  If you have the
Windows expertise to help them or know someone who could, I'm sure
they'd be happy to switch their git build to use MakeMaker.
