Hello Schwern.
I am Podmaster (cpanid).
IF ABSTRACT has " in it, nmake ppd fails on win32.
I haven't seen an author with a " in his name, but you can't be too safe.
AFAIK, this is broken in 5.45 and 6.x.
I don't know if this warrants changes in MM_Unix.t or not,
but either way i'm not a Test::More guy ;)
