We seriously need a PM-independent way of saying "run the testsuite", "run the 
testsuite with user privledges", and "run the testsuite with root privledges if 
you can, otherwise forget it".  Also required is the ability to make test 
failures non-fatal on a per-package basis, though this probably has nothing to 
do with the PMS.
