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

Some tests have already been written for this module in the 
'reconfigure' branch of the Parrot repository; see 
t/configure/142-auto_gdbm.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 providing a short description of what
the 'gdbm' is.  Some branches are compiler- or OS-specific.  As noted in
a comment in the module, please consider the issues raised in
http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=43134.";

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!
