Yes, installing Module::Build can be a bit hairy. But from the developer 
point of view it is much more pleasant to work with than MakeMaker. Also 
  it removes the dependency on make(1). Developement on M:B is still 
ongoing so if you have a report about what went wrong I can complain to 
the people on that list :)

I put code in the installer script to support install_base, but I must 
confess I didn't test it yet. I will make sure this works for the next 
release.

Regarding the 'link' icon. I've seen that on one other system as well. I 
thought 'gtk-link' was a stock icon, but apparently it is not shipped 
with all gtk instalations. Is there an "official" list of stock icons to 
use, or should I package stock icons with the application ?

Thanks for the info,
