Damyan,
Actually you are proposing my first idea but I thought the create_readme parameter was more elegant. May be that is a Build.PL bias.

for determining the main file, Makefile.PL has a VERSION_FROM parameter. Build.PL has a dist_version_from parameter. And obviously if you cannot determine a main file you would
revert to current behaviour.

Agreed, the revival of useless README in $pkg.docs is really annoying.

At least for Build.PL detecting autogenerated README should be easy
enough.
There is a a create_readme option which is an absolute give away.
Is it possible to have a non-autogenerated README *with* that option?

At least in theory it could also be possible to use pod2text over the
"main" module and compare the result with the contents of the README
file. Such approach would also work for other build systems, but would
need a way to determine which is the "main" module. Any ideas?
