+FWIW, it does modify the test suite. The\r
+patch-which-no-one-wrote-yet-but-probably-isn't-that-hard would have to\r
+change the test suite to not treat skipped tests as errors. I'm not\r
+sure whether that's a harmless change or not. Missing prerequisites also\r
+cause tests to be skipped, so in a sense this a change with more\r
+repercussions.\r
