I took a look and I agree, this shouldn't be too intrusive to implement.

I'm going to spend some time working on it and see how far I get.

Can I work in trunk, or would you prefer to set up a branch?

FYI, I also noticed a few files appear to be missing from the subversion 
checkout. Got this when I ran Build on the checkout:

WARNING: the following files are missing in your kit:
         Makefile.PL
         META.yml
Please inform the author.

Maybe these get generated as part of the CPAN upload?
