What's the precedent for that?  I don't see it in the EU::MM docs.

'make realclean' already deletes the Makefile.  'Build realclean' 
doesn't, because it knows nothing about it, since it's created by the 
pass-through Makefile.PL.

Really, I think people need to start using the Build.PL directly 
instead of relying on the pass-through Makefile.  It doesn't even 
handle argument passing, for heaven's sake!
