OK - thanks again, that is my problem... the naming of the entries...

I was too dense to appreciate your note about the first element of the
blib subdirectory having to match the new build element type.

I actually found this by going through the Module::Build::Base source code 
and found that   install_map()   was looking

I've re-written your example, using   some_new_type  to
possibly make this more clear to slow folks like myself.

$builder->add_build_element( 'some_new_type' );
