I am hacking Git, and I don't have perl >= 5.10.1.  On the other hand
I can alway run "make test" or individual tests instead of 
"make test_harness".

A better solution would be to check Perl version, or even better of
"prove" supports '--jobs' option, and selectively enable parallel
running of test harness in Makefile.
