The problem is thus.

Test-SDK-0.03/Test-Harness-1.25/Makefile.PL has INSTALLDIRS=perl set.

Test-SDK-0.03/Makefile.PL does not (since we want everything but 
Test::Harness to go into site_perl).

The actions of Makefile.PL and make are recursive.  However, 
"make install" is not.  MakeMaker puts everything into 
Test-SDK-0.03/blib/lib and installs out of it with only one INSTALLDIRS
setting using the top-level Test-SDK-0.03/Makefile.


I have no idea how to fix this without building a much more
complicated SDK bundling system.
