^^^ This looks like the Java(TM) virtual machine to me, right?

It seems that for the JDK (!= JRE) I had erroneously installed the 
default-jdk (=> java-gcj-compat-dev) package rather than the 
sun-java6-jdk one.

After correcting that, the build succeeded.  Unfortunately, the test 
output is still LOTS of raw stuff that I cannot ever hope to comprehend.  
But at least it looked legitimate. :-)

Not exactly.

I recommend that you include a note in your BUILDING.txt file that one may 
have to use `mvn package` instead of `mvn -Plocal`, and also have it say 
that tests will be run automatically when doing a build.

I also encountered two other show stoppers (one see above, the other being 
that some part of Maven seems to parse the output of `env` incorrectly 
when the environment contains shell functions -- WTF?), but they are not 
specific to jSPF so there's nothing you can do about them.

Finally, it would be good to get the testing output in a more readable and 
much less cluttered format, or at least include a way to filter out the 
noise.

Please tell me what troubles with testing Mail::SPF you were referring to:

Perhaps I can improve something there.
