Well, I think Module::Build will give you a nice error about that
telling you what options are valid. If it doesn't, that would be a
neat patch.
As Gabor pointed out (I think only on IRC), the META.yml spec and the
Module::Build docs are a bit too intertwined on this point. Also a
good thing to patch.
