the problem is that it needs to read the rules from rulesrc/sandbox/* --
and those rules are pretty dependent in places on the rules in
rulesrc/core.  Those rules, in turn, are the 3.2.0 core ruleset, which
doesn't mix well with (ie stomps all over) the 3.1.x core ruleset.

We could come up with a way to use the 3.2.0 core ruleset in place of
the 3.1.x one -- but I think the effort required would be too much, esp.
since it's easier to just concentrate on the 3.2.0 release instead.

actually, we're doing pretty well there -- there was a nightly mass-check
last week featuring data from 7 contributors.
