If you are just processing dist to discover information, you can write your own WriteMakefile routine and grab the answers that way. Look inside Test::Prereq, for instance. I don't like having to do it that way, but I haven't come up with something better.
It is not documented, but WriteMakefile() returns the MM object. It's unlikely to go away as it's very handy for testing. I should probably just document it.
