For the folk following along at home:

We'll add an exception to indicate Skips - tests that could be run, but
are not due to a missing dependency.
Another exception will indicate expected failures - tests that are
checking with fine granularity that something *fails*.
And we'll provide a class wide list of needed features, to disable tests
that can never run on a platform.
