The reason that doesn't work (at least by itself) has now come back
to me.  If I do that the tests end up looking for their libraries in
../lib, but "up one level" is nonsense when you're already at the
root.  We've definitely been down this path before but never come up
with a clean solution that didn't break something else.  I'm
contemplating evil abuse of PERL5LIB, among other things.
