README for Thread::Needs

Removes unneeded modules from CLONEd memory, thus creating a smaller memory footprint for threaded Perl applications.

*** A note of CAUTION ***

This module only functions on Perl versions 5.8.0 and later. And then only when threads are enabled with -Dusethreads. It is of no use with any version of Perl before 5.8.0 or without threads enabled.
