buferring STDERR breaks the install logic

[Stas Bekman]

Apache::Test's "make test" can't be run as root if it gets unpacked somewhere 
under /root/, since Apache needs to run as 'nobody' which can't read/write 
files under /root/. Apache::Test's build nicely detects that situation and 
lets users to opt out from running 'make test'

When running a normal 'make test' you get:
  [  error] You are running the test suite under user 'root'.
  Apache cannot spawn child processes as 'root', therefore
  we attempt to run the test suite with user 'nobody' (65534:65534).
  The problem is that the path (including all parent directories):

Followed by the prompt:
  Skip the test suite? [No]
When running under CPAN.pm there are no problems. But when running under 
CPANPLUS, STDERR is buffered and the logic flow is broken. First the user gets 
the prompt:

  CPAN Terminal> i Apache::Test
  ...
  Skip the test suite? [No]
Then it gets the error:
  [warning] result:
  [  error] You are running the test suite under user 'root'.
  Apache cannot spawn child processes as 'root', therefore
  we attempt to run the test suite with user 'nobody' (65534:65534).
  The problem is that the path (including all parent directories):
of course, the user can't make the right decision and reports us an error, 
which is not a module's problem. CPANPLUS is broken in that respect.
