What happened to that automatic dependency checking,
that was talked about a few months ago ?

And what about "test versions should not appear for selection if Exp is not
choosen" ?
I quote Larry Hall :

Setup offers test versions to you even when 
you don't specify "Exp".  But it's always done this.  It's just more 
noticeable now.  It will go away in a few weeks when 1.5.x becomes "Curr".
