It's possible, I think, but I'm not sure.  I'd have to think about  
how that could work, e.g. how we'd detect we're running under  
CPANPLUS, how we'd circumvent what it's trying to do, etc.  It seems  
like the whole idea would be a little too sneaky.

It would also mean that people would have to install the new M::B  
once manually (because CP+ won't install it) before things would  
start working.
