I hope I'm overlooking something obvious here.  There's a lot of good stuff in 
puppet that is missing a clue doc ;-)  Appreciate a clue-by-four if I 
overlooked something.

I'd like to be able to apply a puppet policy on demand from a node.  For 
example:
        puppet agent --test --debug --class fixjavainstall

The obvious purpose is to test a new class before applying it to many systems.  
Yes, I can do this:
        node /test-node/ inherits normal-node-class {
                fixjavainstall
        }

But this means checking files in and out of SVN, and is a bit heavy for a 
simple test.  I can also copy the class file down to the system and run 
        puppet apply fixjavainstall.pp

…but this only tests the class in isolation, not as part of the entire policy.

Any better idea for testing new classes or modules within the entire policy run 
would be appreciated.
