Yes, these are development tools, not an install-sanity check. They should be run like a trillion times a day.

Mostly I run a particular .t file when developing that feature but sometimes during this time, and before check-in, I run the entire suite.

I went with the suggested SKIP on variable approach and it works fine (thanks grinder!)

Depending on how close to the SSH stuff that last edit was, I'm gonna run those tests as well.
