If I run dotests (and, BTW, how is anyone supposed to know it has been deprecated if it's still sitting there in the source tree?)
It's not in the source tree. You downloaded from the wiki and put it in your source tree.
You're right! It's so long since I did this that I'd forgotten. However, if it really is to be deprecated (and read my other post on this) then surely the best thing to do would be to put it in the source tree to overwrite the original version with one to announce that it's deprecated and to give clear instructions on what to do instead.
Otherwise, my question still stands in essence: how are users to know until, as in this instance, it fails?
