Ugh. I was hoping for an answer more like "META.yml".
How is Makefile.PL going to tell you to install Module::Build and then
run Build.PL? I'm pretty sure that's too late to switch ponies.

I don't think I like that definition of "not installable". It sounds
like it specifically blacklists Module::Build-only modules. Actually,
it sounds like it completely ignores Module::Build because it must have
a Makefile.PL.
