Hello, Rob - how goes pushing that big ol' rock up the hill?

Thing is, h2xs -X should skip all the XS shi...stuff: always used to.
The POD still says:

     -X   Omit the XS portion. Used to generate templates for a module which
          is not XS-based. "-c" and "-f" are implicitly enabled.

Just one. Sigh....  h2xs looks broken; latest archive::tar is broken;
this is becoming so very troublesome that I'm beginning to look-forward
to Java again....
