Sounds like a good idea to me.

>(https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55294) includes a handy 
>option to write files to the directory set by the system property 
>"poi.test.xssf.output.dir" in writeOutAndReadBack.  If the property is not

>  As part of applying patch 55294, should I generalize this behavior and
