I just got a cpan testers report of failure for the module
Mail::OpenDKIM.  The report shows basically a bunch of build failures
due to the libopendkim library being missing.

In my Makefile.PL, I specify LIBS => ['-lopendkim'] but that doesn't
seem to stop MakerMaker from proceeding with the build if it is not
found.  How do I make MakeMaker stop dead if the needed library is not
found?
