Definitely.  I'd just change the default to 'auto' (which means create 
a 'small' [or 'passthrough'] Makefile.PL if none already exists) 
though, and then the author can explicitly put "create_makefile_pl => 
0" (or any other false value) in their Build.PL to shut it off.

If in the future we figure out how to auto-sense when we could create a 
'traditional' Makefile.PL that would be cool, but I don't really see it 
happening.  Too hard.
