Is there a test which fails without it?  It should be optional
(warnings emitted, functionality degrading gracefully and tests
automatically skipped).

It's pulled in by Mail-IMAPClient and a bunch of other modules
I have installed, so I can't easily test it atm, but I'll put
a note for it in INSTALL.

On a side note, running OpenBSD i386 via QEMU on amd64 Linux is
very slow.  Hoping OpenBSD amd64 will be faster...

INSTALL ought to be definitive and up-to-date as there's
optional and non-Perl dependencies which (AFAIK) can't be
specified in Makefile.PL

Any help you can offer would be appreciated, since I'm usually
in a Debian bubble :)
