Changes since 5.5.3:
- Removed check for PERL5_PACKLIST, since it was not fixable by the
package author.
- Completely rewrote the check for ordering variables in simple
package Makefiles. Now it reports the variables in the correct order
instead of just saying "this above that" for a few variables.
- Lots of code cleanup and documentation.
