Will look later today, but possibly not - $work is not working and
I got to go to a pm meeting in couple hours.

This is not an error, this is a "do you want me to install X+Y on
next `make`". It is akin to ./configure. If we change it to non-0
then you will not be able to install this module anywhere, since the
normal workflow (even for cpanm) is:

perl Makefile.PL && make && make test && make install

In fact `exit 1` from Makefile.PL is how you get a "N/A" smoke
result.
