So we are free of the circular dependency. We aren't free of the
dependency on "make".
And we aren't free of the general where we must politely ask our
dependencies to please not (ever) use M::B to build themselves. A bit
silly. Should we recommend that they use Module::Install?
Please don't :)
Anything that M:B depends on should use raw, plain EU:MM if at all
possible. It still uses make, but it's a more sane bootstrap sequence
for now than Module::Install.
That's not to say they can't use Module::Install if they want to, as
long as they are willing to do the incremental release dance. But please
don't recommend Module::Install to people, unless it's truly necesary or
their mentality fits.
Just as I don't want to push M:B on anyone until it's working properly,
I don't want to push M:I on anyone will it's working properly either. :)
(and lets not get into the "Why Adam thinks M:B doesn't work yet"
discussion again and just leave it as my opinion)
