That's my thought.  It's been known for a long time that Test::Harness
works well, but only for the specific task it's been designed for. 
There's been a lot of discussion about improving/extending it.  This is
a much better solution than making a fork for a feature that's likely
not compelling enough for folks to make the switch.

Don't get me wrong.  I also want color highlighting of test code. 
However, there's a lot more stuff I would like to do with the test
output (imagine a Wx extension that provides the red/green color bars
that JUnit provides).  By fixing Test::Harness, we get a more general
case solution and everybody wins.

Cheers,
Ovid
