more creatively than just a source of XS.  How about ucmdoc :?

mm. In a sense, .ucm files is like .c files -- it can contain comments
and even embedded documentations (CWEB, heh), but in the end of day
it's the .so and manpages that should get installed, not the source
itself.

So even if there's a ucm2pod, it's the resulting .pod files that will
be installed.

  But once again package developers may not be happy about it and I 
would like to be sure of the consensus.

I would like to have a makemaker flag that controls the installation
of ucm files. But by default they shouldn't be installed, imho.
