Where *exactly* is "their prerequisites" defined?
Well... I expect it to be in PREREQ_PM in Makefile.PL using
ExtUtils::MakeMaker. If its a Module::Build-only module or the EU::MM
using PREREQ_PM isn't good enough then the module just isn't
installable.
I suppose it be acceptable to write something in the README that the
module isn't installable without manual intervention.
