Not quite. There's a new mechanism in M::B (it's done in CVS already, you can take a look) called "features", which formalizes the concept of optional functionality that can be turned on or off. So even if a prerequisite module is installed, you don't necessarily have to use it (e.g. sometimes even though DBD::mysql is installed, I don't want to configure Alzabo to configure & test with it).
Ah, yes, that sounds nice. Cool.
What are your thoughts on the virtual packages, Ken?
