If your Test::Harness is 2.99_+, you'll see lots of places where the -I 
switch angers the '#!./parrot'.  I tend to think this is an abuse of 
Test::Harness and therefore parrot should bundle Test-Harness-2.64 in 
their distro (at least, until they get away from it.)

More or less (but there's only one of me.)  From prove's point of view, 
the parrot test suite is a wreck in terms of how it defines which tests 
are to be run.  Some are blacklisted, activated by options, etc.  This 
logic is also (potentially) distributed to every $(find -name harness) 
file in the tree.

So, this is only a *start* because it currently has no way to know which 
test files to run.
