Since we do not have Git.xs anymore, wouldn't it be possible for
us to remove perl/Makefile.PL and have our own perl/Makefile
which does:

 * install Git.pm to $(prefix)/share/git-core/perl (aka GIT_PERL_DIR)

 * see if Error.pm is available on the system, and if not install
   private-Error.pm as Error.pm

to make everybody happy???
