This is a great deal closer to working than it was, but still not
quite there yet.

This was ok for now but we have more work to do upstream.  I see these
new failures after the integration of 0.30:

lib/Module/Build/t/compat.....................................FAILED at test 13
lib/Module/Build/t/ext........................................FAILED at test 142
lib/Module/Build/t/tilde......................................FAILED at test 3

I think all of those were working last time I tried a CPAN version a
few months ago but I obviously have not kept up on my testing.

test_type.t and xs.t work fine individually but trigger a VMS-specific
bug that causes the harness to see tests out of order.  I think some
output from a child process is bleeding through to the parent or
something:

$ perl test [-.lib.module.build.t]test_type.t
lib/module/build/t/test_type....FAILED--expected test 5, saw test 4
Failed 1 test out of 1, 0.00% okay.
        [-.lib.module.build.t]test_type.t
