> Should we declare OpenCV a dependency?

If it's made a dependency, is it possible to automate the process of
fetching and installing it (in a directory local to the package?) as
part of the install process?  Only if it's not installed already, of
course.

I think I would prefer:
- not making it a dependency
- adding code to (optionally) download and install it as part of the
scikit install process
- some functionality might require it be installed.  Eventually,
slower non-opencv versions might be added.
