version 2: - Fixed handling of clean & distclean. - Use 'all-local' instead of 'all'. - Don't use abs_* paths in Build.PL.in. Rich.

Switch from 'ExtUtils::MakeMaker' to 'Module::Build'. There's not really a huge difference here. The interfacing gymnastics that we have to do to make Makefile.am and Module::Build talk to each other is probably a little bit simpler.

Another aim is to allow us to work around all the limitations and problems of automake. The first patch makes an observation that since the ./run script sets up $PATH to contain all the directories

Since v2: - Add perl tests. - Reworked and fixed the tests for virt-builder. - Some further minor bug fixes.
