normal on Windows, and can cause mkpath errors if the install
directory is too deep we will use the windows system temp directory.

- Fix to Fetch::CurlCommand plugin. It's handling of URLs with trailing slash (/)
wasn't quite right. (gh#112, gh#113)
1.65 2019-04-11 09:15:37 -0400
- Further improvements with ExtUtils::Depends compatability (gh#107, gh#109).
- Improved documentation (gh#106).
- Updated spec for ALIEN_INSTALL_TYPE. When set, Alien consumers that

variable is set as an opt-in (gh#104, gh#106).
1.64_01 2019-04-10 13:06:45 -0400

which was expressed on systems without curl installed.
1.58_01 2019-02-27 12:50:20 -0500
- Prefer Fetch::CurlCommand over Fetch::HTTPTiny for https when:
* Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL are not installed
* AND curl is installed
* AND curl supports https
This makes AB more reliable on platforms like OS X when openssl
is broken without a third party package system like homebrew,
and on older Perls like 5.8.x where Net::SSLeay frequently does
not install or pass tests.
The existing behavior of prefer Fetch::HTTPTiny when:
* Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL are already installed
* OR the URL is http
* OR curl is not already installed
is still in effect. (gh#93, gh#94)

being made for tarballs) (gh#90)

being made for compressed tars "tar.gz", "tar.xz", etc) (gh#86, gh#87)
- Tweaks to test suite to hopefully accommodate a haiku install (gh#81)
- Add atleast_version, exact_version and max_version properties for
pkg-config plugins (gh#78, gh#79)
