+Subject: [PATCH] Handle setup.py dependencies separate to requirements.txt
+
+The usage of these two files is very different and setup.py should not
+have the strict version requirements that requirements.txt does
+otherwise we create dependency problems for packagers and people using
+the library.
+
+Also changes the existing dependencies from install requirements to test
+requirements and registered nose as the test handler in setup.py.
+
+Fixes Issue #56
