The bundling in Module::Build is fundamentally different from bundling
Module::Install in that the installed Module::Build is used if it is
newer than the bundled version. Therefore, the bundled stuff will only
ever be used when you have a cpan client with no 'configure_requires'
support.
It is currently labeled 'experimental' mostly for lack of testing. I'm
not aware of any modules on the CPAN using it. I guess someone could
ship a purely dummy distro and just see what sort of results they get
from cpantesters.
