Kurt mentioned he'd like more verbose information about how the tests
are progressing as it happens, rather than having to wait until the
end.  In the perl core, the normal 'make test' doesn't give you much
information at all because it has to use a neutered harness.

I just remembered, you can run "make test_harness" instead of "make
test" and it will run the core tests through Test::Harness.  Unless
you're expecting a truly catastrophic failure, this is safe and it
provides more information both about the progress of the test and
exactly which tests failed at the end.

conway: unit of mind expansion.  One Conway == ~20 lines of Perl code
  found in $CPAN/authors/id/D/DC/DCONWAY, which gives the sensation
  of your brain being wrapped around a brick, with kiwi juice squeezed
