Testing, plain.

i.e. I'm now pretty involved in p5p, and cannot spare time for p6, though I'm
following most of it. What I could offer is testing the `current state' (what's
now bleadperl for p5p) on several non-linux machines (see sig), and maybe put
some useful comments next to test results.

Just download/rsync the latest state. Start the test. Report the test results.

Nothing to do with apprenticeships. If I'm no apprentice, I can do this. Nick
and Dan would be happy.
