	In my case I've made it work by using M::B for perl libraries,
autoconf for everything else - which in this case is a hodgepodge of sh,
expect, and perl scripts. This works reasonably well, and is the same
approach taken by some other packages such as ImageMagick.
	But then, my target is specifically unix systems, so I don't have
to worry about the windows case.
