Thanks to Jim for cleaning up most of the tests in the branch. --
miniparrot is no longer accepted as an option, all tests pass, including 
those in "perl Configure.pl --test"

The only remaining instance in branch that I'm not sure how to resolve  
is 

t/configure/034-step.t

Jim - if you could take a look at that usage of miniparrot and either 
bless it or remove it, that'd be very helpful. (I can't tell if it's 
referencing the executable or the config option.)
