Subject: [PATCH] Do not need a compiler if c_source is an empty list
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

c_source used to be string, then it allowed a reference to an array.
But in case the array was empty, auto_require() still enabled
needs_compiler property and thus implied probing a compiler and
a failure if none was available.

Minilla generates these Build.PLs for pure-Perl distributions. See
KAZUHO/Server-Starter-0.34.

This patch makes Module::Build not require C compiler for
c_source = [].

Petr Písař: Ported to 0.4224.
