And if we do it the other way around, so you could take
Apache-Filter-HTTPHeadersFixup (the latest is on cpan) add a plain Build.PL (as if there was no mp2) and then we can add the needed strings and design ModPerl::MB on the way?
I've long ago planned to make my modules available under public svn, let me ping Robert if I we can setup an svn rep on svn.perl.org.
