Message-Id: <Pine.OSF.4.10.10107161631300.464972-100000@aspara.forte.com>

Move t/base/commonsense.t to t/lib/commonsense.t - base tests
should not depend on existance of Config.pm

 If you know that Perl is basically working but expect that some tests
 will fail, you may want to use Test::Harness thusly:

        ./perl -I../lib harness
 This method pinpoints failed tests automatically.
