Ah-Ha and thank you Very Nice!

I did read the perldoc - but just didn't get that
   add_build_element('foo_files')
would make M::B look for a  foo_fiels element - and I thought i would have 
to provide a   process_foo_files()  method, I did not realize that I 
didn't have to do that part (the documentation seems to say I had to.)

It's mainly an issue for executables.
