*cough* Module::Install *cough*

When you install it, it installs a small bootstrapper in
site/inc/Module/ that copies itself and all the rest of the modules to
My-Dist/inc when executed in "author mode" (My-Dist/inc/.author
directory exists, iirc - it creates that directory if My-Dist/inc did
not exist.) - I'm not saying I agree with it, just that that's what it
does.

It's an ugly hack, but makes the dwimmery easy.
