       Create a new instance of Alien::Build::MM.

       This class allows you to use Alien::Build and Alien::Base with ExtUtils::MakeMaker.  It load the
       alienfile recipe in the root of your Alien dist, updates the prereqs passed into "WriteMakefile" if any
       are specified by your alienfile or its plugins, and adds a postamble to the "Makefile" that will
       download/build/test the alienized package as appropriate.

       The alienfile must be named "alienfile".

       If you are using Dist::Zilla to author your Alien dist, you should consider using the
       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AlienBuild plugin.

       I personally don't recommend it, but if you want to use Module::Build instead, you can use
       Alien::Build::MB.

mm_args
        my %args = $abmm->mm_args(%args);

       Adjust the arguments passed into "WriteMakefile" as needed by Alien::Build.

   mm_postamble
        my $postamble $abmm->mm_postamble;
        my $postamble $abmm->mm_postamble($mm);

       Returns the postamble for the "Makefile" needed for Alien::Build.  This adds the following "make" targets
       which are normally called when you run "make all", but can be run individually if needed for debugging.

       alien_prefix
           Determines the final install prefix ("%{.install.prefix}").

       alien_version
           Determine the perl_module_version ("%{.runtime.perl_module_version}")

       alien_download
           Downloads the source from the internet.  Does nothing for a system install.

       alien_build
           Build from source (if a share install).  Gather configuration (for either system or share install).

       alien_prop, alien_prop_meta, alien_prop_install, alien_prop_runtime
           Prints the meta, install and runtime properties for the Alien.

       alien_realclean, alien_clean
           Removes  the  alien  specific  files.   These  targets are executed when you call the "realclean" and
           "clean" targets respectively.

       alien_clean_install
           Cleans out the Alien's share directory.  Caution should be used in invoking this target directly,  as
           if you do not understand what you are doing you are likely to break your already installed Alien.

   mm_install
        sub MY::install {
          $abmm->mm_install(@_);
        }

       EXPERIMENTAL

       Adds an install rule to clean the final install dist directory prior to installing.

       Alien::Build::MM - Alien::Build installer code for ExtUtils::MakeMaker

build
        my $build = $abmm->build;

       The Alien::Build instance.

   alienfile_meta
        my $bool = $abmm->alienfile_meta

       Set to a false value, in order to turn off the x_alienfile meta

   clean_install
        my $bool = $abmm->clean_install;

       Set to a true value, in order to clean the share directory prior to installing.  If you use this you have
       to make sure that you install the install handler in your "Makefile.PL":

        $abmm = Alien::Build::MM->new(
          clean_install => 1,
        );

        ...

        sub MY::install {
          $abmm->mm_install(@_);
        }

       Alien::Build, Alien::Base, Alien, Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AlienBuild, Alien::Build::MB

       In your "Makefile.PL":

        use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
        use Alien::Build::MM;

        my $abmm = Alien::Build::MM->new;

        WriteMakefile($abmm->mm_args(
          ABSTRACT     => 'Discover or download and install libfoo',
          DISTNAME     => 'Alien-Libfoo',
          NAME         => 'Alien::Libfoo',
          VERSION_FROM => 'lib/Alien/Libfoo.pm',
          ...
        ));

        sub MY::postamble {
          $abmm->mm_postamble(@_);
        }

        sub MY::install {
          $abmm->mm_install(@_);
        }

       In your "lib/Alien/Libfoo.pm":

        package Alien::Libfoo;
        use parent qw( Alien::Base );
        1;

       In your alienfile (needs to be named "alienfile" and should be in the root of your dist):

        use alienfile;

        plugin 'PkgConfig' => 'libfoo';

        share {
          start_url 'http://libfoo.org';
          ...
        };
