I don't think there is a reasonable default. I think the only way around 
the issue is to create new methods and deprecate the older ones or not 
require defaults. It's not reasonable to have Build scripts failing just 
because a user upgrades to a new version of Module::Build.

This needs to be resolved before 0.28. Any other ideas for solutions?
