Testing nqp-rx against Parrot

> 3.  In the nqp-rx directory:
>        perl Configure.pl --parrot-config=$PARROT_INSTALL/bin/parrot_config
>        make test

> There should be no failures; as of 2011-01-06, nqp-rx's policy will

> If nqp-rx is known to be failing a given test, the test is either
> commented out or nqp-rx is fixed such that "make test" always shows
> no failures, unless the cause of the failure is something that is
> broken outside of nqp-rx itself.  ("make test" may show passing TODO's,
> however.)

> large memory footprint to build and/or run.

with parrot & plumage installed,
   $ plumage test nqp-rx
does the job.

Note1: the Configure.pl embeds a 'make clean' which implies a rebuild at
each plumage invocation.
Note2: 'plumage clean nqp-rx' is now available.
