Right, but sometimes they're not that specific.
For example, a ppm on win32 has blib/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.dll There's
nothing platform specific about that blib directory. I think blib
structures are a crap shoot at best.

But, at the very least, that brings us down to 2 big blobs of stuff for
an  unzip-and-run, which is still better than that install/upgrade
modules for days.
