Log:
perl modules branch: Specify that the dependencies should be built in
alphabetical order (dependencies of an earlier dependency of a package are not
listed for the package), and if testing all tests for a module and its
dependencies should be run (i.e. deps such as Test::Fatal are not listed for a
module if already listed for one of its dependencies). Clean up dependencies in
the DateTime area to match this pattern.
