I'm fine with postponing the move, as long as then the move is into a
separate directory :)

All languages SHOULD [1] have a "make test" Makefile target.

Non operating specific extension like libnci should IMHO have better
support in the C<loadlib> opcode. The file extensions (.so, .dll...)
could be handled in the platform code. Windows AFAIK needs an export.def
file. This could be autogenerated from the source (PARROT_DLL_EXPORT or
such) by a small utility.
