*really* paranoid, how about having the dist actions fail if you havent specified a "create_makfile_pl" arg? (one of the exsitng ones or "skip").

I just tested and CVS HEAD M::B happily overwrote a hand-made Makefile.PL when I added 'traditional' to Build.PL and ran "Build distdir". Luckily, I had it in SVN so it was an easy restore.
