I guess the docs were a bit misleading. Now I put all in
the Makefile in pkg/, should be easier. The docs have been
updated accordingly.

Try this:

	• svn -N co https://gar.svn.sf.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/cpan
	• cd cpan
	• gmake newpkg-My-New-Module
	• cd My-New-Module/trunk
	• Edit the Makefile etc.
	• svn add <file> for everything valuable in your package
	• cd ../..
	• svn -m "cpan/My-New-Module: Initial commit" commit

Feedback as always welcome.

Best regards
