Ah, OK, so these perl scripts that use Test::More think they are
emitting TAP, but because the prefix is not added to any of their
output, they are not considered to be a tap output at all.

So did the "external" tests lose a lot of value with this change?
They used to point out individual breakage, but now it is just
"passed as a whole (or not)" boolean?
