Personally I don't mind much files leftover from the test suite.
When there are failing tests, it's nice to have the input around.
However they shouldn't clutter the 'parrot' directory.
How about adding a Parrot::Test::get_temp_dir() that gives a path
to a sandbox directory, that can safely be cleaned up?

Later Parrot::Test::get_temp_dir() could be taught about things like
cross compilation and read-only source directories.

CU, Bernhard
