Yep, I've had a couple of reports about that... it works fine from a
checkout but not from the tarball because the test dir is missing. There
are a couple of other fixes required anyway, so an AGILe 1.2.1 will be
forthcoming pretty soon -- but in the meantime I may just patch 1.2.0
anyway and put up a replacement tarball: all releases should be able to
build!
