Re: [Module::Build] Module::Build Options: msg#00062

This patch borgs the basic idea from Getopt::Simple. It doesn't have that module's underdocumented "env" or "order" options, but it adds "store", so that an argument value can be stored in a variable in Build.PL rather than in args.

Oh, and I also added some notes where I was unsure of things, or where I thought we could simplify. To whit:

* We could probably use Getopt::Long to process Module::Build's own arguments, too, and eliminate the custom argument processing code. Thoughts?

* I'm using valid_property() to prevent clashes with Module::Build's own options. Are there others it should check, such as those referenced in hashes named "%additive" here and there in the code?

* Should we provide a parameter that allows users to set additional options on Getopt::Long (e.g., "ignore_case", "gnu_compat", etc.)?

Thanks,

David
