Configuring Apache::Test is not easy (drawing from my own personal
experiences and comments on RT tickets, etc), so I think that making
some changes like this so that it 'just works' in more situations is a
prudent move. We don't want A::T to become bloated, but I think we
are very much on the lean side, and could use some changes to make it
easier to use. I think people recognize the cool factor of
Apache::Test, but have a hard time figuring out all the nuances.
