Heh.  Probably my Friday night wishful thinking.

What I meant was that for one individual distribution someone could get=20=

it working by just adding some code to copy between various blib/s,=20
call actions in subdirectories, and so on.  It seemed like this was=20
what the OP was asking, but the solution would be sort of hacked=20
together.

You're quite right that adding recursive builds to M::B itself in a=20
nice solid way would be a major project.  We're scheduling it for the=20
next big release, i.e. after 0.27_xx becomes 0.28xx.
