One offender of this involves needing to test the STDERR of the binary,
which has been done like this:
my $changes_out = `$DARCS changes --last 1 2>&1`;
I assume that STDERR redirection I've done is not portable.
I just now looked at Test::Output to see if it could help with this.
It looks like that it tests only standard error or standard out for a given
bit of code, not both the same time.
Hmm...maybe Test::Output just needs a new feature:
# Because sometimes you don't care who said it.
stdout_or_stderr_is()
