Well, that's partly the thing. I know they'll install any real deps that
are required, but there isn't currently a way to make
ExtUtils::MakeMaker have build-time dependencies that don't turn into
runtime dependencies. I have in fact reported a bug/wishlist/"I'll patch
it if you think this is good" ticket on it:

  http://rt.cpan.org//Ticket/Display.html?id=24159

but until that's fixed, I'd rather not declare Test::Exception as a
runtime dependency of my module.
