"Require capybara/poltergeist in the configure block": is there a reason for this? #171

Just out of curiosity: What's the difference between...

Konacha.configure do |config|
  require 'capybara/poltergeist'
  config.driver = :poltergeist
end if defined?(Konacha)

...and...

require 'capybara/poltergeist'
Konacha.configure do |config|
  config.driver = :poltergeist
end if defined?(Konacha)

With the latter, your application has a production dependency on capybara-poltergeist. With the former, you can put both capybara-poltergeist and konacha in a group :test, :development block in your Gemfile.

Thanks for the explanation! Very interesting, didn't think about this. :+1:
