it's probably just a misunderstanding on your part.  I'll take a look at
it, but I have absolutely no idea what your tarball actually does - that
it contains more than one .conf file is too complex for me to wade through.

if you can have 'make test' issue a failure that can be easily verified
I'm pretty sure I can explain what's going on.
