Subject: Makefile problem on case-insensitive systems (e.g. Win32)
This is actually the same as #60956, but that bug is years old and I don't see an obvious way to add updated information. This is what's happening: Makefile.PL has a few convenience 'make' targets at the end. One of them is 'makefile', which forcibly rebuilds the Makefile. On a case-insensitive system (Windows for certain; I think maybe Mac OS as well), the string 'makefile' matches the filename 'Makefile', causing nmake to *always* forcibly rebuild the Makefile, first thing. Removing the 'makefile' target added at the end of Makefile.PL allows the project to build and install successfully.
