I've experimented with detecting those using my Devel::TraceDeps on the
running test suite. It is possible to see the source and target of
every require(), including failed ones (so you have to be using
eval+require, but you already knew it was incorrect to go stat()ing
around in @INC looking for your optional deps.)
