That's an ugly hack. Add a file to the shipped test suite just so the
author can verify their signature during disttest. Hope the user
doesn't set that variable.
We don't use the test suite to build the code. No need to clutter your
test suite with silly hacks instead of using author tools. See also
podcoverage.t, pod.t...
Adding signature support to disttest would be a great M::B plugin.
