Actually this part is a problem, and it should be handled better by 
Module::Build. I'm forwarding to the module-build mailing list as I 
haven't look to closely at the dist target.

I'm thinking it should not error if you don't have YAML installed. M::B 
aught to be able to produce the META.yml if YAML is not found.

I'll take a closer look when I get a chance.
