I totally agree with you, Josh, that it makes little sense to
try to contort the unit tests to be run in the same `prove` run as the
regression tests that need to be invoked so totally differently.

FWIW that's my feeling too. It makes sense for "make test" to run the 
unit tests, but wrapping the unit tests in one or more shell scripts 
adds unnecessary complexity.
