Attached to this email is a new perl spec file:

- ExtUtils::Embed, ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Test::Harness, CPAN have all
gone into -devel
- perlcc, perlivp, h2xs, libnetcfg are in -devel too (they depend on the
above modules)
- encode.h is back in the main perl package (it makes sense to me to
have Encode in base perl)

Thoughts? Suggestions are welcomed.
