Not according to my tests the night before last. I did a test CPAN
install of "News::Newsrc", which failed because the "make test" was
failing. I then installed the "Set::BitSet" (? Something like that)
module and tried News::Newsrc again and it worked...
Maybe this was just a fluke and News::Newsrc is the exception and/or
isn't used enough that people have gotten the prereqs right yet. If
anyone knows for sure, I'm curious.
