* Added Travis and Appveyor testing (thanks Paul Cochrane)
* Use warnings pragmas (thanks Paul Cochrane)
* Many documentation and meta-data fixes/updates (thanks Paul Cochrane)
* Better test coverage for strings with/without utf8 flag
(thanks Paul Cochrane)
* Replace SvCUR with sv_len_utf8 to work around issue in debugging
versions of perl (see https://github.com/hoytech/String-Compare-ConstantTime/issues/4)
(thanks Paul Cochrane)
The comparison takes a constant amount of time, no matter whether the
strings are equal, or even the same, or different. This one sentence had
been added to DESCR out of nowhere.

* Now works with variables that have magic such as results of
substr, tied variables, etc. (thanks James Raspass)
Problems found locating distfiles:
Package cabocha: missing distfile cabocha-0.68.tar.bz2
Package convertlit: missing distfile clit18src.zip
Package php-enchant: missing distfile php-enchant/enchant-1.1.0.tgz
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.

* Fix segfault when passed in undef (thanks Ichinose Shogo)
* Documentation updates
* Add github repo and license meta info
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
0.300 into textproc/p5-String-Compare-ConstantTime.
This module provides one function, equals (not exported by default).
You should pass this function two strings of the same length. It will
return true if they are string-wise identical and false otherwise, just
like eq. However, comparing any two differing strings will take a fixed
amount of time, unlike eq.
NOTE: If the lengths of the strings are different, equals will return
false right away. Also, comparing two identical strings will take a
different amount of time than comparing two differing strings.
