If the inclusion of modules in distributions is common and t/ is not

being in @INC. But it has the side affect that everyone will have
CPAN::MakeMaker in thier dist on search.
I copied POE when I added ExtUtils::AutoInstall and put in in
install/ to
some of my modules. I think that's as good a place as any.
Alternatively
you could use a dot-dir.
A dot-dir is not very portable. At first I like the name install/
but then it dawned on me that it is very common for installations
to have a file called INSTALL, so a directory called install would
not work too well on platforms that are case insensetive (DOS, Mac
OS). Unfortunately this same argument goes against similar
names like build. So I dont have any better suggestion other than
something like privlib.
What does CPAN::MakeMaker want to use?
