All-

This is a minor tweak on the PDL-2.4.7_001
developers release.  It updates the
SKIP_KNOWN_PROBLEMS feature to use Test::More
TODO as the implementation.  It should be
appearing at a CPAN mirror near you soon.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  This is a developers release
so some tests will most likely fail (i.e.,
this is a work in progress).  If you wish to
test skipping the tests from Known_problems,
just set the environment variable
SKIP_KNOWN_PROBLEMS or edit perldl.conf to
make SKIP_KNOWN_PROBLEMS there 1.
