I think for the moment you either need to include it in the REQUIRE file, or not and make the user to install gpu-related bits themselves.
IMO This is not ideal... Another example is Markdown: you have to include that in the REQUIRE, even though Base.Markdown is included in 0.4. This means you end up with with two *different* versions of Markdown kicking around (you/your users have to tread carefully so as not to use the wrong one).
