There are two ways to do this. You can do this early enough during
build, the PL_files feature would be the most obvious way.
Alternatively you can add Parse::Yapp to configure requires (no need
to add a check for that, it will die by itself if it's missing), but
that will crap out on legacy perls without having any obvious
advantages.
