I'm not sure if this causes problems for 5.10.1 when integrated, or actually
solves them.

I've not specifically tried with 5.10.anything with Module::Pluggable or
Compress::Zlib's constituents, but without this change I couldn't correctly
install a newer Test::Harness on blead. This was because its Makefile.PL was
putting the newer version in the "correct" place, whereas installperl had put
the core shipped version in the wrong place, and the "correct" place didn't
override the wrong place in @INC, so I kept getting the old version.

With this in place, newer versions install nicely. So I think it will
actually fix a bug in 5.10 that no-one has reported yet.
