Okay, that makes sense. PROVE_TESTS is a runtime-only dependency so
my guess is that most people would set that directly on the command
prompt like I do, still it can be useful to enforce that in build.pl.
PROVE_FLAGS can be both, but you are right that setting it in build.pl
would be the most common approach. So let's document both. Attached
is a proposal for that, what do you think? I have extended the
example of PROVE_FLAGS to show how to set up more --jobs.
