	I thought about that option as well, but I don't think it buys us 
anything.  For as long as DBD::Oracle doesn't break Oraperl, to have the 
latter bundled with the former doesn't require any additional work, and 
doesn't hurt.  And when DBD::Oracle will finally break Oraperl, having 
Oraperl in its own distribution means that for it to work you'll have to 
manually install a non-latest version of Oracle for it to work -- if 
it's still bundled with DBD::Oracle, 'cpanm Oraperl' will do the right 
thing and fetch the last version of DBD::Oracle that includes, and 
supports Oraperl.
