Title: support for Perl 5.8

I sympathize with your position on Perl 5.8 support (#4). However,

- requiring 5.10 for this module is arbitrary since it doesn't use any 5.10 features
- most people still on 5.8 are not there out of choice, and requiring 5.10 is likely to make them simply not use `Alien::LibYAML` rather than to make them upgrade their Perl (I was there rather recently in fact)
- most issues are going to be in AB rather than `Alien::LibYAML`, any issues raised will most likely be our responsibility
- issues that *are* raised, help us shake out bugs in AB itself
- the AB team is committed to support 5.8 as long as the other parts of the tool chain do

I understand and respect your decision if you decide not to merge this PR.
