Hello there,
Wouldn't be better if the Pod::Html would be executed in parallel, freeing
Module::Build to finishes its work?
AFAIK documentation doesn't matter for smoke testing, but it does matters if
the developer is installing modules manually in Windows (let's not consider PPM
packages on ActivePerl). Doing that would help in both cases of testing.
Just my five cents of contribution.
