The requirement for creating README can't be properly expressed with 
current limitations; It depends on (Pod::Readme || Pod::Text). The best 
we can do is recommend one or both.

Features wouldn't be appropriate in this case, because we still have to 
explicitly test for the presence of one or the other of the modules. We 
can't query ::ConfigData to determine what method to use.

Hmm, only ~40 unread mails or mails marked for follow-up left in my 
Module::Build folder...
