Yeah, so long as the existence of the svn:externals doesn't preclude 
mirroring, I think we can safely ignore it.  The test suite does seem to 
work with an external install of Apache::Test just fine.

OK so I will ask for httpd/test/framework to be mirrored to github, but 
first the really hard question - what to name it?  Assuming we can pick 
an arbitrary name, "httpd-tests" makes sense to me.
