| Subject: | Problem with files in directories whose name starts with 'inc' |
There's a problem with "make dist" if you have any files inside a
directory whose name starts with "inc";
e.g. 'incoming/patches/fix_a_bug.sql'
This is due to check_manifest() in Module::Install::Admin::Manifest
having a regexp that isn't strict enough, so it matched incorrect
entries from the MANIFEST file, and prompts with the following (because
there's no such file in inc/):

/usr/bin/perl "-Iinc" -I. "-MModule::Install::Admin" -e
"dist_preop(q(Parley-0.58_01))"
It appears that your MANIFEST does not contain the same components that
are currently in the 'inc' directory.
Please try running 'make manifest' and then run 'make dist' again.
Remember to use the MANIFEST.SKIP file to control things that should not
end up in your MANIFEST. See 'perldoc ExtUtils::Manifest' for details.

I've attached a patch against 0.68 which I believe resolves the issue.
