So I'd suggest doing the following:

5) Rename t/ to testsuite/ so this doesn't look like some garbage

Nope.  't/' is the standard name for directory with "normal" tests, at
least in Perl / CPAN land, where TAP comes from ('xt/' is for extra
tests)

So what?  It is not because Perl has set this horrible precedent that we 
have to perpetuate it.  I personally never saw t used as a directory 
name for tests before Git, and I'm not that young anymore unfortunately.
