+If some events detected in F<Makefile.PL> imply that there is no way
+to create the Module, but this is a normal state of things, then you
+can create a F<Makefile> which does nothing, but succeeds on all the
+"usual" build targets. To do so, use
+
+ ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteEmptyMakefile();
+
+instead of WriteMakefile().
+
+This may be useful if other modules expect this module to be I<built>
+OK, as opposed to I<work> OK (say, this system-dependent module builds
+in a subdirectory of some other distribution, or is listed as a
+dependency in a CPAN::Bundle, but the functionality is supported by
+different means on the current architecture).
