Well, one *might* need it if one were using features of M::B added since the the version used by the user, and the user's version doesn't recognize configure_requires, either. For the module in question, Test::Pod, I think that it does nothing special at all. So I've removed it from configure_requires. But I wouldn't mind seeing some way to tell M::B::Compat not to include it if it's not needed in the Makefile.PL but *is* needed in the Build.PL build_requires.

Best,
