special-case Pod::Checker ABSTRACT

Currently the auto-generated Makefile.PL for Pod::Checker raises a
warning with MakeMaker, since the abstract in the pod isn't parseable.

Also, the package's own Makefile.PL doesn't work with blead (I didn't
exactly understand what the issue was, but porting/dual_lift.t complained
about missing utilities).

So the most expedient hack is to special-case the ABSTRACT in make_ext.pl.
