Module::Install::Base - Base class for Module::Install extensions

In a Module::Install extension:
use Module::Install::Base;
@ISA = qw(Module::Install::Base);

This module provide essential methods for all Module::Install extensions, in particular the common constructor new and method dispatcher AUTOLOAD.

Constructor -- need to preserve at least _top
The main dispatcher - copy extensions if missing
Returns the top-level Module::Install object.
Returns the _top object's associated Module::Install::Admin object on the first run (i.e. when there was no inc/ when the program started); on subsequent (user-side) runs, returns a fake admin object with an empty AUTOLOAD method that does nothing at all.
