Subject: Remove dependency on Test::Deep for building
Test::Deep is not required to build the module, only for the test suite. It should be optional rather than required. Pulling in Test::Deep pulls in a ton of other unnecessary module dependencies.

The problem here, unfortunately, is Module::Install - it only knows how to create v1.4 metafiles, rather than 2.0 -- which is required for Test::Deep to be listed in the test section of the prerequisites rather than build.
