actually, the 'errors' might not end up being errors at all - if the configuration script can't resolve conf/mime.types, for instance, but the EU has one in his t/conf directory everything should work out fine.
if that's the case, why not having A-T look in that directory and keep things under a tight control.
yeah. but I'm not exactly sure what the proper behavior here ought to be, and there are lots of variables (like conf/foo.in which may not change into conf/foo before TestConfigParse looks for it).
at any rate, I think we can delay the digging for a while - Mike's original problem has been addressed and we've added in a few extra checks and debugging, so if something like this crops up in real life it will be easy to address.
