Looks good to me.
One additional point to consider and solve is the BEGIN 'preamble' we
now add to each test to make certain we are in a known directory, and
more importantly, that we are running the tests using *the* lib/ of
the Perl we are building and not some other lib. Having to add that
preamble manually to the lib tests is clunky, but if I pull a new
module release out of CPAN, the preamble is not there, so...
