Oh, good.  That means I don't have to do the lobbying/convincing that I 
thought I was going to have to do. =)

The code in the soon-to-be-released version of Module::Build looks like 
this:

      core   => {
                 lib     => $c->{installprivlib},
                 arch    => $c->{installarchlib},
                 bin     => $c->{installbin},
                 script  => $c->{installscript},
                 bindoc  => $c->{installman1dir},
                 libdoc  => $c->{installman3dir},
                },
      site   => {
                 lib     => $c->{installsitelib},
                 arch    => $c->{installsitearch},
                 bin     => $c->{installsitebin},
                 script  => $c->{installsitescript} || 
$c->{installsitebin},
                 bindoc  => $c->{installsiteman1dir},
                 libdoc  => $c->{installsiteman3dir},
                },
      vendor => {
                 lib     => $c->{installvendorlib},
                 arch    => $c->{installvendorarch},
                 bin     => $c->{installvendorbin},
                 script  => $c->{installvendorscript} || 
$c->{installvendorbin},
                 bindoc  => $c->{installvendorman1dir},
                 libdoc  => $c->{installvendorman3dir},
                },

where $c is a reference to %Config.  So it should just start working if 
the %Config entries appear.

Thanks for the status update.
