Subject: t/basic.t unicode test fails also on some linux systems
See CPAN Testers results. On my system this is the case on Debian/wheezy systems, while it seems to pass on Debian/jessie and Debian/squeeze systems.

This test also fails on: * solaris * CentOS 6.4

Digging further: it does not seem to be system-dependent, but the failures depend whether a utf8 locale is in effect (passes) or not (fails). I could quite reliably create pass reports with LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 on the previously failing linux and solaris systems, and fail reports with LC_ALL=C.

This is some great research, thanks! I think the idea of making / testing Unicode filenames was a bit over-ambitious since Perl itself does not (yet) have strong support for such, so I am disabling that for now (https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/commit/1b3722697f737bbd81e66fd4bdc6a038b58d5f7d). I have however opened an issue on the EUMM repo: https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/issues/213

It might be worthwhile keeping the test, but marking the whole thing as TODO, just so we can collect lots of data from various smokers. It may come in handy down the road.

The problem with that is it's not currently separated-out tests, but effectively a layer over the top of a number of other tests, which would then get false negatives. Making it be separated-out tests would slow down the testing. If we need to refer to such data, we can use the data for this dev release, and gathering it ought to be possible by just testing this dev release.
