Why V.pm and not Module::Info itself, which gives more [useful] information.

	$ perl -Ilib -MV=Foo
	Foo
         	/home/jpeacock/tmp/lib/Foo.pm: v0.0.1

vs

	$ module_info lib/Foo.pm

	Name:        lib/Foo.pm
	Version:     v0.0.1
	Directory:
	File:        /home/jpeacock/tmp/lib/Foo.pm
	Core module: no

Shouldn't a program that tracks what modules are in the core be, well, 
in the core?  Plus module_info has all sorts of other nice features 
(like what modules this asked for module 'use').

I also believe the regex in Module::Build::ModuleInfo is slightly more 
robust than the one thieved from ExtUtils::MM_Unix.  You wouldn't 
believe how may evil $VERSION assignments there are in the wild...
