Subject: Do not die if prereqs are not met
Build.PL of Util-Properties dies if prerequisites are missing. This means that tools like CPAN.pm cannot continue. It's best to not die and let CPAN.pm or CPANPLUS.pm deal with resolving the dependencies. Note that the auto-generated Makefile.PL does not die, and because most users are prefering ExtUtils::MakeMaker over Module::Build, this problem was typically not seen. Also, there seems to be a stray backslash in the die message ("missing requirem\ents") Regards, Slaven
