Adds support for Alien dists installed viaAlien::Build
Adds a dependency on Test2, which I am using in Alien::Build. I beleive the benefits outweigh the negatives.
Adds support for static flags via cflags_static and libs_static
Load Alien::Base::PkgConfig as needed, rather than always
Removes support for Alien::Builder, which was never actually used
Renames _keyword to _pkgconfig_keyword to make it clear that it is specific to pkgconfig stuff
Rename undocumented pkgconfig to _pkgconfig to mark it as private and discourage external use. (I am pretty sure it is not used anywhere outside of this class anyway).
What this does not do:
add any new configure or runtime dependencies
merge Alien::Build + Alien::Base into Alien-Base, though that is my longer term goal
remove Alien::Base::ModuleBuild from Alien-Base, though my longer term goal is to spin AB::MB into Alien-Base-ModuleBuild
break any existing Alien's that are using AB::MB
In terms of reliability, these modules are already using Alien::Build (installtime) + Alien::Base (runtime):
In terms of Why? I would like to start migrating more Aliens to use Alien::Build and writing wholly new Aliens, and to do this I need support in Alien::Base.
This PR is baby steps in making progress on #157
