  Description     : Ensure that tests needing a display have one

  When testing GUI applications, sometimes applications or modules
  absolutely insist on a display, even just to load a module without
  actually showing any objects.
  .
  Regardless, this makes GUI applications pretty much impossible to
  build and test on headless or automated systems. And it fails to the
  point of not even running the Makefile.PL script because a dependency
  needs a display so it can be loaded to find a version.
  .
  In these situations, what is needed is a fake display.
  .
  The Test::NeedsDisplay module will search around and try to find a way
  to load some sort of display that can be used for the testing.

Test-NeedsDisplay is needed during Padre build. Will be maintained under
the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
