I haven't been able to get this approach to work.
The file(s) from the new build_element *do* get copied into blib, so in
the above example httpd.conf gets copied to blib/conf/httpd.conf
but, when i do Build install it does not get installed.
I looked in _build/build_params and the install_path hash
does contain an entry for my new build element(s), but nothing gets
installed there when I run ./Build install (and ./Build fakesinstall
doesn't show the files either.)
