Yes, it's ugly. It means that the mediawiki stuff creeps out of contrib
and into the main tree; and worse, as part of a public API that gets
installed. We'd have to be a lot more picky about the interface and the
code quality.

That might work. Most of the magic in perl/Makefile happens in the
perl-generated MakeMaker bits, though, so it may not be that easy. I
haven't looked.

Good point.
