	If they're not a developer, what are they doing running unit tests
in the first place??? End users typically install applications, which either
prebundle a whole bunch of perl packages or rely on some package management
system (ppm, deb, etc) to separate real dependancies from build dependancies
for them and only install what they need.

	I think in this case Test::Pod should be a build_requires... Your
other examples (copyright.t, etc) obviously will only work on your system so
it makes sense for those to have some sort of special treatment.
