Yes, this is the right way to go!  It does rely on knowing that Net::*
use IO::Socket and fiends^Wfriends, but that's ok.

If it works out, we can generalize Net::Mock and dump it into t/lib/
where other test can get at it.

Only if you sing the Max Power song while you do it.

I was about to rewire t/TEST and vms/test.com to understand no_plan
tests and decided it would be too much invasive surgery to get it
right.  I still have the patch lying around and could put it in if you
need it.
