Remember, this is Module::Build saying:  "You're too lazy to specify
what version of me you need, so I guess I have to read your mind or
come up with some reasonably sane fallback to protect your from
yourself."

In that context "0" means "you didn't say, so I guess any version will
do" and "X.YY" means "the last version I know your end users will be
able to get from CPAN".

The latter version is now in the repo.  If someone makes a brilliant
argument why not, I'm open to changing it, but otherwise, I'm ready to
move on to fixing other problems.
