TAP is a generic testing result protocol (that looks like it may even
make it's way through the IETF).  The only reason perl is used is
because it has the best support at this point for TAP, but there is no
reason that we couldn't write a C-based one if we were that bored.

(FYI, the current "make test" should work without TAP::Harness if you
have the older Test::Harness; though you're limited to only the older
tests because we can't use all the nice auto-magic stuff that the newer
TAP::Harness provides for file type detection, etc).

It would be easier to simply wrap the older scripts in a giant "I have
no perl so run this simple sh script instead".

I hope to get to documenting everything in the near future, BTW.
