I don't know if there's another pair of ports like these two. PDA::Pilot
is really a completely separate package that just happens to live in a
subdir two levels deep inside the pilot-link tree, and requires that the
pilot-link configure be run before its own. IOW, it's pretty gross.

E.g., one thing that seems to stand out is that most other master-slave
port pairs are differentiated by prefix/suffix, rather than being named
something completely different.

Do you want to take maintainership of p5-PDA-Pilot, too, since the two
are incestuously related? I'll happily let you have it if you want? I'd
be surprised if it ever needs any changes, except for pilot-link .soname
updates, unless the pilot-link tree gets rearranged.
