I was told it was a planned feature when KWILLIAMS turned up on london.pm
and yelled "FUD" because I was complaining about users' problems in the
real world rather than the problems of an ideal user that somehow magically
knows that Module::Build is special and they have to remember to update it
or installations will inexplicably fail.
Never mind, I'll go back to waiting for it to be five years from now and the
toolchain to have worked round this brain damage.
