Some of this distribution testing could likely get incorporated into
the Phalanx project, if I get it announced today like I'd like to
do...
Phalanx = "beefing up test suites of Perl and the top 100 CPAN

Yes, bioperl now

Though this started as an innocent question, I think it would be
nice to have a module/script to scrutinize a CPAN distribution.
1) Archive nit-picker. Archive::Any's is_impolite/is_naughty is a
