It happens in make_executable which is called by process_script_files,
which is ultimately called by ACTION_code (I think).

If you run "Build --debug" on a recent M::B you should see a trace of
the actions called.

I don't see why not -- but you'd need to call $self->depends('code')
to get them built.  Experimentation is necessary -- no guarantees it
will work.  :-)

You should be able to call $self->script_files(\%files), I think.
(You might want to retrieve the old hash and add to it first.)  I
don't know why it's a hash. The values are ignored, I believe.
