Write unit tests for config/auto/aio.pm, 
the module whose functionality executes Parrot 
configuration step auto::aio.

Some tests have already been written for this module in the 
'reconfigure' branch of the Parrot repository; see 
t/configure/139-auto_aio.t in that branch
(http://svn.perl.org/parrot/branches/reconfigure/).

Some hints for how to proceed with testing may be found 
in that test file as well, including the following:

"The documentation for this package is skimpy;
please try to improve it, e.g., by explaining what 'aio' is.  Please
evaluate the comment about 'sigaction err'.  Try to cover all branches
and conditions.  Check latest reports of Parrot configuration tools
testing coverage to see where your time available for writing tests is
spent."

Reports of the extent to which tests in the 'reconfigure' 
branch's t/configure/ directory cover the code in 
config/*/*.pm packages may be found here:  
http://thenceforward.net/parrot/coverage/configure-build/coverage.html

Happy hacking!
