  Description     : trust META.yml list of dependencies

 CPAN doesn't trust "META.yml"'s list of dependencies for a module.
 Instead it expects "Makefile.PL" run on the computer the package is
 being installed upon to generate its own list of dependencies (called
 "MYMETA.yml" or "MYMETA.json").
 .
 Module::Install::TrustMetaYml generates "MYMETA.yml" by simply passing
 through the dependencies from "META.yml".
