I've been thinking of some way to separate the minimal parts.
But orthogonal to that:
>1. Parse Build.PL directly. Seems like a recipe for disaster.
>2. Read the files in the _build directory. Possible but fragile.
>3. Reconstruct the MB object.
>4. Run "./Build distmeta" then read META.yml.
5. feed Build.PL parameters from $something_else
Unfortunately Module::Build::YAML::Load() is not implemented. But you
could use e.g. yaml on your dev box and make sure to ship something
from Data::Dumper, which can be read with do() for the install target.
