indeed.  this is expected, especially since Glib requires the updated 
version.  however, the version checking doesn't appear to be working in 
either the old or new versions.  i thought that the version checking 
was basic, not something that required Exporter or custom code.  
perhaps i'm wrong.

in attempting to make it less of a wizzard's job to set 
$Glib::GenPod::COPYRIGHT, i have a new version of the patch which 
leaves Glib::MakeHelper->postamble_docs()  unaltered (from the outside, 
at least) and adds Glib::MakeHelper->postamble_docs_full(), which takes 
named parameters like this:

   Glib::MakeHelper->postamble_docs_full(
       DEPENDS => $deps_object,
       DOCTYPES => [qw/gtk.doctypes gdk.doctypes/],
       COPYRIGHT_FROM => 'copyright.pod',
   )

and, in truth, i like this version better.  the same scheme still 
applies.

if there are no objections, i'll commit.
