So the regression tests weren't really testing the actually built module, so
to speak. Is there a good reason to leave the NOTICE's in the expected
regression output?
As to the way it's built, the regression tests are built in the RPMset to
allow post-install (that is, post _RPM_ install) regression testing on
machines without make or compilers.
