Greetings, I've attached a patch for CPANPLUS::Dist::Build that makes tests pass again by detecting C support using the above mechanism. It also removes a silly warning emitted during tests. Feel free to apply and release if this is the proper way to do things, or adjust as you see fit.
While you're making those patches it'd be nice to get an error message that requests the missing CPAN module instead of just saying I'm missing the C_Support feature. When I last installed Module::Build and then some C using module I had to grep around my site_lib directories to find the name of the thing I was missing so I could install it. Or maybe I had to search message archives from some list traffic. I forget. It was more difficult that it should have been. It would have been helpful if the error message had indicated something of what I was actually missing rather than some feature name that proxied for the missing modules. Josh
