Here's the last context I know of regarding that.

 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.module.build/2007/06/msg733.html

Basically, some historical issues which lead us to the belt-n-braces 
approach, but actually I don't think that any success at satisfying 
build_requires will get you past the part where Build.PL dies for not 
having a properly modern (or even installed at all) M::B.

For an absolute guarantee that configure_requires is satisfied, the 
Build.PL should probably have a "use Module::Build 0.34;" statement.
