Bad idea. You'll still need to distribute Inline::MakeMaker for the user's
Makefile.PL, so no gain.

Not if you rewrite the Foo.pm file once you've generated the Foo.xs.
I believe a *much* easier way to do this would be to abstract out the part of
Inline that parses the C and creates the XS, so that I can do something like
this:
% h2xs -A -n Foo::Bar
% cd Foo/Bar/
% cat > Bar.in
bar(...) {
...
}
% inline2xs Bar.in >| Bar.xs
% make dist
