No reason except that it's not the whole story about how the MM tests set up libraries
so when I had tried something similar to that it wasn't working. Once I found and
also tweaked perl_lib() in Utils.pm I got over this hurdle. However, we're back where
we started. This whole approach of making the t/ directory appear as
BFD_TEST_ROOT:[000000] instead of BFD_TEST_ROOT:[t] buys us nothing because the six
zeros directory counts against the total when you are using relative paths from it.
I have another idea and will hopefully have a patch out shortly.
