Thanks for finding this. I tried to get as much coverage as possible by installing packages I don't normally have installed (Apache, cvs, cvsps, Subversion, Perforce, etc.) and even temporarily modified a script or two to force it run when I simply couldn't meet some prerequisite, thus reducing the "skipped" messages to a minimum, but I wasn't even aware of this prerequisite since I never saw a "skipped" message for it. Looking at it more closely, I think the reason it didn't come to my attention is that this script doesn't use the standard skip_all="..." mechanism for skipping the tests but instead "rolls its own", and apparently 'prove' simply swallowed (or was unable to produce) an overall "skipped" message for this script.
