I can confirm the above example because I experienced it yesterday.
SMS::Send also required three other perl modules which aren't packaged
for that target platform AFAIK (MacOS X 10.4 Intel).  Fortunately, all
of them built fairly simply, which wasn't the case for Image::Magick
on that platform.

It would be great if 3.0.0-final has no new dependencies over
3.0.0-beta.
