Yes, it's a bit ugly - but I can't think of a prettier solution from within
the PDL source (which is not to say that a far prettier solution doesn't
exist :-)

My initial thought was to replace:

use PDL::Config;

with:

require '../Basic/Core/Config.pm';

because that would ensure that the desired PDL::Config was found - rather
than some other PDL::Config that was elsewhere in @INC from a previous PDL
installation.

But someone else suggested 'use blib;' and we went with that instead. The
correct PDL::Config still gets found, so I guess that's the important thing.

Cheers,
Rob
