No, there isn't an sbin_files property defined, so that parameter is
ignored.

The trick here is that there's no cross-platform notion of 'sbin', and
nobody seems keen to invent one either. I'm thinking that we've seen
this before and there are probably a few ad-hoc add_build_element()
overrides on the CPAN that are doing something for sbin, but nothing
has ever been formalized for Module::Build to support it (and I don't
see anything in RT about it either.)
Offhand, you're talking about adding process_sbin_files, having
something in install_sets, and adding 'sbin' to build_elements. Maybe
a simple matter of treating it as a 'script' element on any non-unix
system. Want to write a patch for that?
