I don't know if it's advisable, but I've already gotten one email from a
CPAN tester complaining that SVN::Core couldn't be found, and I imagine
it's not a unique event. People expect to be able to install all the
dependencies of a module via CPAN, so it would be nice if we could
accomodate them.

That said, i'm not sure what the 'commonly done thing' is in situations
like this. I mean we can't be the first project with this kind of
problem...
