Yeah. Also, I'm finishing up a feature that will let the author define
arbitrary configuration parameters (i.e., a replacement for the likes of
CPAN::Config, the old HTML::Mason::Config, etc.), and the presence of
arbitrary features. For instance, for Module::Build I think we may want
to define features like "compile_c", "create_distribution", etc. This
will make it easier for the user to know what they're opting in/out of
by not installing optional prereqs.
With this in place, the tests can query the feature, not just blindly
try to load Archive::Tar.
Very cool. I look forward to seeing that.
