Hrm, after further investigations only t/distro/file_metadata.t uses
svn/svk directly.  This test checks to make sure that the svn
properties are correctly set for files in the parrot repository.
Hence the need for a version control system.

I'm very glad you asked this question, as I think all we really need
to do here is test in t/distro/file_metadata.t if svn/svk works and
then skip appropriately if not.  Hence, we probably don't need the
added overhead of a configure step just for the sake of one test.
