First time install into a fresh local::lib directory. This is potentially
broken either way, though: if another version exists anywhere earlier in
@INC that trips the Makefile.PL check, it generates a Makefile that
refuses to install anything.
There's more than one way -- it's Perl, after all -- for @INC to differ
between install and run time, so this test and subsequent Makefile
modifications aren't safe.
