Because I don't see how a separate tool could modify the files in distdir
without modifying the master copies in version control.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. But most problems are solvable if you
hit them with a big enough hammer. How about this?
sub do_create_makefile_pl
{
my $self = shift;
if (ref($self) ne __PACKAGE__) {
$self->SUPER::do_create_makefile_pl(@_);
} else {
bless $self, 'Module::Build';
$self->do_create_makefile_pl(@_);
bless $self, __PACKAGE__;
}
} # end do_create_makefile_pl
I think I'll also have it read the generated Makefile.PL and make sure it
doesn't mention the package.
