Hi Rob:  I intentionally made 'make test' do *only* the tests, since I 
could not figure out why the 'pure_all' target was causing a rebuild 
during 'make test' right after that target was built using 'make'.

The right fix would be to get 'pure_all' to not rebuild a second time 
during 'make test' when it just built during 'make'.

That said, the proper recipe should always be:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

So my fix allows that to work.  You just need the 'make' step.

Regards,

   Doug
