Maybe there should be more possible report values?
FAIL and PASS can be kept for when the actual tests fail or pass
but there should be also
MAKE_FAIL fr when the make phase failes
MAKEPL_FAIL fails when Makefile.PL exits with error code
As far as I understand, main purpose of PASS/FAIL is to see if module
runs on some architectures/version or not. MAKE_FAIL and MAKEPL_FAIL
make sense for author but not for average CPAN user. And author can be
informed about failing stage without changing FAIL grade to something else.
and I leave it open to the discussion what to do when
Makefile.PL exits with 0 but there is no Makefile ?
"exit 0" is a way to avoid sending a report. I think it's OK to leave it
as is.
