The "Makefile.PL" gets recreated by ImageMagick's configure. Normally, it contains a huge list of libraries in the linker call. If lots of use-flags are turned off, we might run into problems if we simply use the Makefile.PL (which exists, but as i said, it _normally_ gets re-created when running configure). So before PerlMagick becomes independant of ImageMagick's configure, upstream must change a few things.
