Agreed.  I added Devel::Peek as a hard dependency because it is in Perl
core modules since long, but it is not such an important dependency,
especially since the bugs that are supposed to be found with those
modules are probably relatively independent of the platform.

I can have a look at that and make that kind of dependencies optional.
