Well, honestly, I would just have it in src/test/modules and call it a
deal. Because it is now the only extension that has such interactions
with perl tests. And because if modules/ gets bloated later on, we
could extend prove_check to install modules from extra paths, just
that it does not seem worth it to do it now for one module, and there
is no guarantee that we'll have that many around. Of course there is
no guarantee either that modules/ is not going to get bloated.
Note as well that I will be fine with any decision taken by the
committer who picks up this, this test case is useful by itself in any
case.
