+     "@code{Module::Build::XSUtil} is subclass of @code{Module::Build}
+for support building XS modules.
+
+This is a list of a new parameters in the @code{Module::Build::new} method:
+
+@enumerate
+@item @code{needs_compiler_c99}: This option checks C99 compiler availability.
+@item @code{needs_compiler_cpp}: This option checks C++ compiler availability.
+Can also pass @code{extra_compiler_flags} and @code{extra_linker_flags} for C++.
+@item @code{generate_ppport_h}: Generate @file{ppport.h} by @code{Devel::PPPort}.
+@item @code{generate_xshelper_h}: Generate @file{xshelper.h} which is a helper
+header file to include @file{EXTERN.h}, @file{perl.h}, @file{XSUB.h} and
+@file{ppport.h}, and defines some portability stuff which are not supported by
+@file{ppport.h}.
+
+It is ported from @code{Module::Install::XSUtil}.
+@item @code{cc_warnings}: Toggle compiler warnings.  Enabled by default.
+@item @code{-g options}: Invoke @file{Build.PL} with @code{-g} to enable
+debug options.
