Ok. We are much closer now...

Failed Test  Status Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/Variation_IO.   2   512    26   23  88.46%  4-26
Failed 1/48 test scripts, 97.92% okay. 23/590 subtests failed, 96.10%
okay.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 29


I need to talk to Heikki about this - something about Text::Wrap
versions...


perl 5.0004 has a really *bad* feature that you can't call exit() in a 
BEGIN { } block. This causes our "skipping test" feature not work,
sadly... I had to rewrite these tests to use a more complex require system
with flags. <sigh>.


check out t/largepseq.t 


for an example.
