I'm open to the argument that having to set the run_root_tests flag in
config.dist or run using prove with a --override will be useful to ensure that
someone does not unthinkingly run sudo make test TEST_FILES="t/root*.t" or even
sudo make test on a production server.

I personally wouldn't do it, but I'm not a sysadmin in a production
environment, so what do I know?
