  requires 'AAAA::Mail::SpamAssassin';

=head1 DESCRIPTION

For some reason dependency resolution via the CPAN toolchains does not
work very well for L<Mail::SpamAssassin>. To install it without manual
work you need dependencies installed beforehand.

C<AAAA::Mail::SpamAssassin> is a L<Task>-style distribution that makes
sure that dependencies are installed so that L<Mail::SpamAssassin>
installation does not complain.

If you have a dependency on L<Mail::SpamAssassin> add
C<AAAA::Mail::SpamAssassin> as an additional dependency and (only) the
most crucial dependencies will be installed before
L<Mail::SpamAssassin>.

Why the C<'AAAA'>? L<CPAN> and L<CPANPLUS> install prereqs sorted
alphabetically, the C<'AAAA'> ensures that this prereq is installed
