Hello --

I'm trying to build the LWP bundle under Perl 5.00503 MAINT_TRIAL_2.
However, the bundle is defined such that 'URI' precedes 'MIME::Base64';
URI is built with a warning about the missing MIME::Base64, but fails
its test suite (URI::_foreign::media_type not defined -- this hoses the
t/data.t test program), so it's not installed.  This in turn screws up
building installing other LWP modules down the line.

Should be easy to fix: just change the order of modules in Bundle::LWP
from

   URI, Net::FTP, MIME::Base64, Digest::MD5, HTML::HeadParser, LWP

to 

   MIME::Base64, URI, Net::FTP, Digest::MD5, HTML::HeadParser, LWP

or something like that.  (That list comes from the "b LWP" command in
the CPAN.pm shell, running CPAN.pm 1.44 under Perl 5.00503
MAINT_TRIAL_2, with up-to-the-minute data files from CPAN.)
