<para>This package does come with a test suite, however, it cannot be
run at this time because we do not have a C++ compiler yet.</para>

+ <para>The test suite also requires locale data to be installed in order to run
+ successfully. Lccale data provides information to the system regarding

+ system utilities. If the test suites are not being run in this chapter
+ (as per the recommendation), there is no need to install the locales now.
