Changes.PL seems to be used to create the Changes file from git. This
should only be done by the author before uploading to CPAN, not by every
user of the module. I'm not sure what's the best way to avoid this: The
rule in the Makefile is created automatically by makemaker and is
probably a good thing. Maybe Changes.PL can be changed to try to update
changes only if a special environment variable is set, or we are in a
git working directory, or something like that?
