NAME
       ExtUtils::MM_Win95 - method to customize MakeMaker for Win9X

SYNOPSIS
         You should not be using this module directly.

DESCRIPTION
       This is a subclass of ExtUtils::MM_Win32 containing changes necessary
       to get MakeMaker playing nice(1,2) with command.com and other Win9Xisms.

       Overriden methods

       Most of these make up for limitations in(1,8) the Win9x command shell.
       Namely the lack of && and that a chdir is global, so you have to chdir
       back at the end.

       dist_test
           && and chdir problem.

       subdir_x
           && and chdir problem.

           Also, dmake has an odd way of making a command series silent.

       xs_c
           The && problem.

       xs_cpp
           The && problem

       xs_o
           The && problem.

       clean_subdirs_target
           && and chdir problem.

       realclean_subdirs_target
           && and chdir problem.

       os_flavor
           Win95 and Win98 and WinME are collectively Win9x and Win32
