The following affects all Perl tests writers.

I've read the latest Test::Harness pod, and it includes the following:

       Comments
           Additional comments may be put into the testing output
           on their own lines.  Comment lines should begin with a
           '#', Test::Harness will ignore them.

             ok 1
             # Life is good, the sun is shining, RAM is cheap.
             not ok 2
             # got 'Bush' expected 'Gore'

       Anything else
           Any other output Test::Harness sees it will silently
           ignore BUT WE PLAN TO CHANGE THIS! If you wish to
           place additional output in your test script, please
           use a comment.

Which means that we should gradually change all the tests to start the comments with '#', or they may break in the future. And of course write new tests using '#'.

The tests that have been using Apache::TestUtil::t_cmp() don't have to change anything at all. I'll fix t_cmp() to prefix # on its comment output.

Those who change their tests, please port the tests to use t_cmp() and then it'll be fixed automatically for you.
