Excellent detective work. :-)

And yeah, there was this new test, and then I did the massive
switch to dzilla. One of the plugins I'm using is AutoPrereqs,
and unfortunately a few bogus dependencies slipped in. Apologies
for that, and with the release of yesterday, I think things should
be alright now.

Well, *most* things. There is still issue 1068, where monkeyswitching
YAML to YAML::XS proved to cause issues with the new merging of
configurations. A fix for that should be issued in the next
few days.

Joy,
`/anick
