Integrating C::AC into MakeMaker/MB

Hi,

I run into some trouble integrating some right linker flags to a Makefile.PL - insane warnings from EU::MM is an offenseless artifact, deleted flags is next escalation.

I don't want discuss about utility and futility of the misplaced parameter approvals (EU::MM is a Makefile generator, not a configuration tester), I want to discuss a reasonable approach to pass check results into Makefile without doing the mistakes of Module::Install again.

My naive approach was passing EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS instead of LIBS (https://github.com/i-scream/Unix-Statgrab/blob/master/Makefile.PL#L102-105) - I grabbed the idea from Net-SSLeay ...
But Dave objects (https://github.com/autarch/File-LibMagic/pull/3) and beside being always right I have to concede a point to Dave regarding "warnings confuse end-users".

I played a bit with MakeMaker extensions hacking https://metacpan.org/pod/File::ConfigDir::Install and mohawk pointed me to https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker::BigHelper ...
I know, all those MM extensions (ShareDir::Install ...) will not play well together.

What should be a reasonable way out - having a pluggable API for all those extensions?

Cheers
