This is true, but if the test can correctly detect whether it should
skip, that's probably a better way to go. An option for the
*developer* to force skipped tests to run would probably be a nice way
to handle that -- particularly when you're running against an
unreleased version of a dependency.
Maybe they should be DEPENDS tests. (pun intended ;-)
