Crap, I don't think that Apache::TestMM knows about this. How do we 
make sure that those of us who use Module::Build can get our modules 
installed in the right place?

Will it not also affect us who build mod_perl applications and want an 
easy-to-use installer to just work for people who download our 
software? Frankly, I don't think that it should be fine for just the 
dedicated mod_perl developer. This is one place where PHP is kicking 
the crap out of us.
