+=head1 NAME
+
+ExtUtils::MM_MacOS - once produced Makefiles for MacOS Classic
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  # MM_MacOS no longer contains any code.  This is just a stub.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Once upon a time, MakeMaker could produce an approximation of a correct
+Makefile on MacOS Classic (MacPerl).  Due to a lack of maintainers, this
+fell out of sync with the rest of MakeMaker and hadn't worked in years.
+Since there's little chance of it being repaired, MacOS Classic is fading
+away, and the code was icky to begin with, the code has been deleted to
+make maintenance easier.
+
+Those interested in writing modules for MacPerl should use Module::Build
+which works better than MakeMaker ever did.
+
+Anyone interested in resurrecting this file should pull the old version
+from the MakeMaker CVS repository and contact makemaker@perl.org, but we
+really encourage you to work on Module::Build instead.
