The latest version of Biber requires autovivification, XML::Writer, and 
Text::Roman.  And Test::Difference is required for running the tests.  Can you 
add those?

Here's a trickier one: Biber wants Unicode::Normalize, version <= 1.17.  There's 
a comment that says "1.18 removes XS and is too slow".  I'm not sure what to do 
about that.  Any advice?

Thanks.
