PDL: provides/requires

1) provide: perl(Inline)

   Caused by the following hack in the file Inline/MakePdlppInstallable.pm

   ----------
   package Inline::MakePdlppInstallable;

   # just a dummy package

   package Inline;

   #====================================================================
   # override the original Inline::install method
   # to allow Inline::Pdlpp code to be installed
   ...
   ----------

   The above comment goes on and explains why the hack is there.


2) The requirement perl(Inline) appears to be valid unless
   there is no interest in using Inline::Pdlpp.

   a) The Inline module is required by the module Inline::Pdlpp
      (file Inline/Pdlpp.pm)

      ----------
      package Inline::Pdlpp;

      use strict;
      require Inline;
      ...
      ----------

   b) From the Inline::Pdlpp documentation

      ----------
      ...
      You never actually use Inline::Pdlpp directly. It is just a support
      module for using Inline.pm with PDL::PP. So the usage is always:

          use Inline Pdlpp => ...;
       ...
      ----------
