If the implementation would handle this all gracefully the test would 
never had been a problem. :)

We assume IPv6 now, we assume a working internet connection, we assume 
udev for eeze testing, we assume a working dbus setup, in some cases we 
assume a file system which supports extended attributes, etc...

If it is complicated to run make check we will have even less people 
running it. It should be the other way around. I guess I could look at 
anybody here who contributed a few patches this year and see someone who 
broke make check. If it is to complicated or fails for some reason 
people will just stop using it.
