In fact, the dependency generation for Perl Distributions isn't working
correctly.  It does not take into account that a newer distribution
installed into vendor_perl does not need a requirement if the one that
came with Perl itself is sufficient.  Also, it often pulls in the
dependencies of such requirements instead of just the first level.  I'm
going to patch this out and generate the dependencies with the cygport
files, doing this properly from within would require some serious
overhaul.

Achim.
