I sort of feel like I should slap the value of $Module::Build::VERSION 
into every .pm file that's part of the distribution.  And do this for 
all my other distributions too.  And create an option in M::B so it 
does this automatically when running the 'dist' action.

That's certainly true.  But it also has to play nice with 
non-version.pm environments since it's backward-compatible to 5.005.
