Thanks for the welcome.  Now I'll really have to sit down and write some code :P

I guess it has to do with how I set out to run the tests, trying to
run the main test suite before compiling the extensions.
I couldn't come up with anything great, but if the test shows the
failed gdal_support_status it helps a bit, though it might be overly
verbose (gdal_support_status doesn't currently give hints about how to
fix the actual problem, but it could):
