Aaron,

If Makefile.PL says "makedoc.PL => ['biodesign.pod']" I find that most of
the time makedoc is not executed, even if I'm doing something like 'make
realclean; make;' (just confirmed this with "make clean") . Cygwin bug? We
should go with the expected behaviour, shouldn't execute 'makedoc' each time
just for me.

"makedoc.PL => ['biodesign']" gets makedoc executed each "make", including
"make install", can't tell you about "make test", that gets stuck on
't/Taxonomy'.

Hmm; it should execute if the Makefile has a newer date than the
biodesign.pod file (which you'd expect if the Makefile has just been
rebuilt via perl Makefile.PL).  Otherwise, won't make always try to build
the non-existent "biodesign" at every command (make, make test, make
install)?
