I've been thinking of some way to separate the minimal parts.

But orthogonal to that:

>1. Parse Build.PL directly.  Seems like a recipe for disaster.
>2. Read the files in the _build directory.  Possible but fragile.

5.  feed Build.PL parameters from $something_else

Unfortunately Module::Build::YAML::Load() is not implemented.  But you 
could use e.g. yaml on your dev box and make sure to ship something 
from Data::Dumper, which can be read with do() for the install target.
