It's pretty mindless to make the corrections so I can do it while I'm
waiting for some analysis to finish.  Can we just be sure that we are
doing what seems to be the RIGHT thing.  I really don't want to break the
build on 5.00404 so let's roll our own Test.pm with and ok() and skip()
methods or backport (my vote) to the old way of sub test {}.  I'd put the
Test module in t/Test.pm.
