I hate to say this after the code is written, but I think we should not
put any tests in the first step. I predict that these are going to be
enormously brittle and that we'll waste a lot of time making them
stable. I think we should commit the Windows support for backtraces
first, then consider whether we actually want TAP tests for the overall
feature. We've gone several years with glibc backtrace support without
any tests -- why do we think the Windows implementation thereof _must_
necessarily have them?

<crab> why does it need to be complicated?
<Schwern> Because it's MakeMaker.
