Just to point out, that was for Bio-FeatureIO.  Truthfully I'm not worried about that one yet; got to get over Mt. Everest first (the main release).  

Build.PL is there mainly as a convenience for users w/o Dist::Zilla, which, last I recall, had a higher dependency list than even BioPerl (though I may be mistaken).  I'll probably have to set up a Build.PL that can be clobbered by Dist::Zilla as needed.  Or we can just get rid of it and insist that dev. code has to be added via 'use lib' or PERL5LIB, and not allow installation.
