nclark@nclark [11448-mini]$ mv t/lib/commonsense.t t/base/
nclark@nclark [11448-mini]$ make minitest
You may see some irrelevant test failures if you have been unable
to build lib/Config.pm.
cd t && (rm -f perl; /bin/ln -s ../miniperl perl)         &&  ./perl TEST base/*.t comp/*.t 
cmd/*.t run/*.t io/*.t op/*.t </dev/tty
base/commonsense....Can't locate Config.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../lib) at base/commonsen
se.t line 5.
FAILED at test 0
Failed a basic test--cannot continue.
make: [minitest] Error 2 (ignored)



I believe that that was the current niggle with it (as currently written)
being in t/base - it aborts make minitest when Config.pm isn't there.
[not sure if make minitest should pass in an environment variable to say
that lib/Config.pm being missing isn't a failure at this point]

having make minitest run without Config.pm is useful (isn't it?) to get
diagnostics on why a really messed up miniperl was unable to make Config.pm
