When invoking the command Build-Module with required Parameters like this:
Build-Module -Path .\Source\ModuleBuilder.psd1 -OutputDirectory ..\ -VersionedOutputDirectory
but the Build.psd1 file is absent, we get the error below.
The only way to work around it is to create a Build.psd1 with an empty hashtable.

I think we should make that file optional when required parameters are provided, and clearer error when not.
