A missing dependency shouldn't be flagged as NA -- that's supposed to
be only for Perl or architecture incompatibilities.

Missing Perl prerequisites are identified by CPANPLUS or
CPAN::Reporter and the report is discarded.

The "exit 0" trick is recommended for non-perl dependencies.
Unfortunately, that looks like it might be a problem for M::B::Compat
in a passthrough Makefile.PL
