I'm thinking specifically of "extended testing".  That is, you need 
Test::HTTP::Server::Simple to test the networked part of dotReader, but 
it is not required for "normal" operation.

In the more general case, I'm wondering what would be the best way to 
communicate "extended testing" dependencies to cpan-testers, etc.

Maybe this goes beyond META.yml though.  Build.PL should just claim to 
have extra build_requires dependencies if $ENV{PERL_AUTHOR_TESTING}?
