Yes, I did not make that clear.

No, that's just as complex as we need.  The current test harness says:

	my @tests = @ARGV ? @ARGV : grep !m{^t/parser/}, glob( "t/*/*.t" );
	runtests(@tests);

It assumes a one-level hierarchy.  I'd pull out File::Find and remove that
limitation, if there were more levels.
