That discussion is happening on the Module-Build list even now.  The 
problem is that what "nested build" means is different for different 
people.  Personally, I'd like blib/lib and blib/arch to contain all sub 
blib's below the current one (strictly speaking a recursive build).  And 
at any level, a './Build command' will run all lower level ./Build files 
with the same command depth-first.

Is this what EUMM does now?  This seems to be what GNU automake/autoconf 
seems to expect.
