Should I do that in a reroll ?

Oh right, sorry, read it too quickly :/ Well, I still find it weird to
copy untested files out of contrib/mw-to-git/ though.

Another idea crossed my mind: for now the test suite creates a symlink
of git-remote-mediawiki in the toplevel if it's not installed. It
would be better to use the bin-wrapper in the testsuite I think ?
(plus, with the current solution, it may have problems finding the
latest Git::Mediawiki.pm)
