'renumbertests' branch was merged into trunk in r24814. In addition to renaming the tests and then editing them so that their POD refers to the correct name, I adjusted t/harness and config/gen/makefiles/root.in to account for creation of t/steps/ directory.
If you run the configuration tests with 'perl Configure.pl --test' or '--test=configure', you will first get the 'framework' tests (t/configure/001 thru 061) and then get the 'steps' tests (t/steps/*.t), which will run in the same order as the configuration step classes during Configure.pl. (I hope that in the future we'll be able to run those tests so that at each new step the Parrot::Configure object will have all the information it would at that step during regular configuration. This is the reason to run the steps in configuration sequence.) But during 'make test' or 'make configure_tests', the tests will run in alphabetical order. kid51
