MYMETA files are generated by `perl Build.PL`. They represent the translation 
of the metadata from the META.json file to settings specific to the box on 
which the module is being installed (e.g, with added platform-specific 
dependencies). So they should never be included in a distribution.

That would be handy, yeah.
