Why don't y'all just use Module::Install? It handles

OTOH, Module::Install (and Module::Build as well to be honest)
doesn't work on old Perl.
Some people may care about this and thus not use M::I, others may
not.
Module::Build works as far back as perl 5.005_03 - before that and
we'd be pulling our hair out more than we already are.
That said, testing on old perls doesn't always happen as often as
we'd like, so sometimes it breaks and nobody notices. But
generally it should work.
I now remember that part of the problem were some modules
Module::Build use, which are now compatible with Perl 5.004, so I'll
test again Module::Build with the old Perl I have.
