Eurmmm..., Policy change (like "under new management"); I do not want such 
code in the Test::Smoke::Smoker or in Test::Smoke::run_smoke() code, because 
I believe that unsuported configs should result in 'c' (unable to configure 
perl for this configuration) in the report!

This should be handled by F<configsmoke.pl>. I'll think about how to handle 
this in check_buildcfg()[:1724] (but I don't mind if you beat me to it :)

Good luck,

Abe
