- After another email exchange with Kent Fredric (via RT) and Karen Etheridge (via the
cpan-testers-discuss mailing list), I've edited Makefile.PL, again, to indicate that
Test::Pod is needed neither for building nor testing this module, but is only needed for
development. Specifically, it's used by xt/author/pod.t, and not elsewhere. See
https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Meta::Spec#PREREQUISITES for more details.

- No code changes.
- Rework Makefile.PL so File::Spec, File::Temp, Test::More and Test::Pod are in TEST_REQUIRES.
Many thanx to Kent Fredric in RT#112568 for this suggestion.
- Expand the SYNOPSIS.
- Update MANIFEST.SKIP to include .gitignore.
- Finally add lightweight git tags to distros, so that if you have a Bash alias such as:
alias gl='git log --decorate=full' you'll see something like these 5 lines:

- Remove the line which reads 'use open qw(:std :utf8);'. As Tom Molesworth says:
"Specifically, it turns on the UTF-8 encoding layer on STDIO when any code does
'use Tree::DAG_Node'. That's no good when code is expecting a different encoding
(raw, etc.)". See RT#105798. Karen Etheridge followed up with a comment about it appearing
in another module of mine. Then I checked all my modules (including some not intended for
publication - Local::*) and found about 28 offenders, with some using it inn multiple files.
The original idea came from adopting what Tom Christiansen calls his 'Standard Preamble':
http://www.perl.com/pub/2012/04/perlunicook-standard-preamble.html
All tests still work after removing that line.
- Remove Build.PL. Ship only Makefile.PL.
