While resurrecting various test harnesses for LCOV/GCOV
usage, I looked at the "make test" in the perl bindings.

The failures are appended below.

0) transaction flags set & get
	This test is broken. rpmlib needs to be able to
	other bits internally, not just set whatever random
	values are passed in from bindings.

	At a minimum, the test needs to change to set bits
	by name (like RPMTRANS_FLAG_NOSCRIPTS), not by
	value (as in 0x2).

	Even the names cannot be guaranteed to remain invariant.
	E.g. there are only 2 free bits in rpmtransFlags, there
	*will* come a day when additional bits are needed,
	and other bits will be rearranged.

1) no $ys->initdb and no $ts->verifydb methods
	Yep. The intent is to do rpmdb initialization lazily,
	and maintenance through external tools, to the
	greatest extent possible.

	No, I'm not interested in re-adding either --initdb or --verifydb
	(and methods) back into rpmlib.

2) macro initialization through perl bindings in tests is not correct.
	The assert failure indicates that macros needed to
	open a table within an rpmdb have not been read.

	Previously there was a compiled in fallback value, which
	has been removed. The goal is to do Berkeley DB (and sqlite3)
	configuration in DB_CONFIG, or to remove the macros
	previously used to the greatest extent possible.
