+=item Philosophy and History
+
+Why not just use <insert other build config tool here>?, What's
+Module::Build and how does it relate to MakeMaker?, pure perl. no make, no
+shell commands, easier to customize, cleaner internals, less cruft
+
+=item Module Writing
+
+How do I keep my $VERSION up to date without resetting it manually?, What's
+this F<META.yml> thing and how did it get in my F<MANIFEST>?!
+
+=item XS
+
+How to I prevent "object version X.XX does not match bootstrap parameter
+Y.YY" errors?, How do I make two or more XS files coexist in the same
