From the CPAN client's point of view, installing means executing
either «make install» or «./Build install». The actual installing is
done by ExtUtils::Install, either through make or through
Module::Build. The CPAN client may provide extra parameters that
affect where things end up being installed (e.g. --install_base), but
making it do the actual work is a large shift in the system.
