We should try to keep OS conditionals out of version_check.pl.
META.yml, which is a static file in the release package, 
needs a list of prereqs that are OS independent.

+1- I'm hoping that someday CPAN will be able to do figure 
that out right from the META.yml file, so the prereqs can be
installed by CPAN.pm before libapreq2 is even downloaded.
