  Description     : test environment setup for development with IDE

Test::InDistDir helps run test scripts in IDEs like Komodo.

When running test scripts in an IDE i have to set up a project file defining
the dist dir to run tests in and a lib dir to load additional modules from.
Often I didn't feel like doing that, especially when i only wanted to do a
small patch to a dist. In those cases i added a BEGIN block to mangle the
environment for me.

This module basically is that BEGIN block. It automatically moves up one
directory when it cannot see the test script in "t/$scriptname" and includes
'lib' in @INC when there's no blib present. That way the test ends up with
almost the same environment it'd get from EUMM/prove/etc., even when it's
actually run inside the t/ directory.
