[Module-build-general] create_makefile_pl option

[Dave R. <au...@ur...>]

If this is set, then the distdir action will make a Makefile.PL, but it
does it in the current directory, not the distdir.  That seems wrong.

Also, could it check to see if Makefile.PL was in the MANIFEST when it
does this and give a warning if its not?

The idea is that it gets created in the current directory, then copied 
to the distdir by manicopy().
