Well, it *appears* that most of the distros with a large dependency
chain are using Module::Install. The case where M::I is the entry
point is what I mainly had in mind. Also, those authors are probably
releasing frequently and paying attention ;-)
Are there some stats somewhere on what projects are using what builder
and a way to correlate that to how many dependencies they have?
