How timely. The last few nights I've been poking at the smoke test script I 
posted here several months ago, and think I've got it to a useable place. I just 
committed it to trunk as r3552.

I also read the pod for Test::Valgrind. I *think* smoke.pl could be altered to 
use it conditionally when it is installed. I committed smoke.pl so others can 
play with that idea too.
