$ git log NotBuild.PL

    Rename Build.PL to NotBuild.PL to avoid pulling in Module::Build as a
    dependency for people who've told CPAN.pm to prefer MB over EUMM.
    
    This is so a recent version of T::H can become a dependency of
    Test::Simple without Module::Build becoming (effectively) a transitive
    dependency of Test::Simple.
