Ya know, you don't have to do everything everyone says. ;)

I see the work you did in Template::TT2Site for this. Its, for the most
part, not necessary.
There is a create_makefile_pl option (see Module::Build::Compat) which
does a fair job of creating a Makefile.PL functionally equivalent to
your Build.PL. It comes in various flavors from passthrough (where it
writes a Makefile which simply calls Module::Build functions) to a pure
MakeMaker implementation.
Flipping through the Makefile.PLs of your modules they look for the most part
trivial and would be handled fine by create_makefile_pl.
