Well, of course the real code is in a big Perl script file so quoting is
not an issue.

However, I just realized that I don't think we can use this anyway.  The
test suite runs on systems like OpenVMS which don't, I'm pretty sure,
have a POSIX module.  So, if I add something like "use POSIX;" to the
test suite, it won't even run (Perl will error).


Hm.  I guess I could use require inside of eval, instead of use... yes,
that works.  Neat!

OK, I've committed some new code that tries to use POSIX::getcwd() as
long as it exists.
