pmake conflicts with Debian pmake #6

pmake is the name of the FreeBSD make (although it is invoked there as just make). On Debian the BSD make is invoked as pmake which conflicts with the script that comes with this distribution. There should be an option when installing to not install the pure perl pmake or to install it under a different name. I would even argue that it might be better to use a completely different name.

A different name makes sense to me.

Maybe just 'pure-perl-make'. Kind of annoying to type, but I suspect that the script's name is not being typed very often.

A new version with the renamed script should be available on CPAN soon. Thanks for pointing this out.
