Factor out QuickCheck dep into only being required for the test suite? #87

Closed gbaz closed 8 years ago

gbaz commented 8 years ago

I don't know how tricky this may be, but as it stands, having alex as a whole require QuickCheck makes things somewhat tricky for the new minimal platform, and we have to hack around it in silly ways. If it isn't a ridiculous hassle, it would be nice for QuickCheck to be only required when building the tests?

Fixed, QuickCheck is no longer required unless you use -f quickcheck.
