While this is a good start, it isn't sufficient. Lots of the tests fail if
the test suite is run outside of $SRC/t because they assume they are being
run from there - looking for random bits of the build environment such as
README files is a common cause of breakage. I'm patching stuff up as I go
to get the test suite to pass when integrated into Solaris, I'll submit a it
when I'm done. It probably won't be a final fix, but it will show where the
issues are.
