Basically, I depend on Parse::Yapp, and I would like to call `yapp` on 
Build.PL so I can have the generated .pm file before M::B generates all 
its data dir.

In fact, I can add that to inc/MyBuilder.pm, but I am afraid the 
generated .pm will not be installed.

But probably I am just too used to MakeMaker and M::B will work just fine :)
