I didn't see anyone disagree with this, at least, just Karl's note that we 
might need separate names for the harness implementation and the test 
directories. What do people think? Is this OK? I would imagine that taking 
Karl's comment into account, it is, and if no one speaks up now, I would think 
you could just start submitting patches.

I don't understand this piece very well. Do people understand this well enough 
to agree or disagree with it, and to do it if it's wanted?
