WHAT IS IT

t/testing.key:
t/util.pl:
A more comprehensive suite of tests. Includes XML files that are
snapshots of the corresponding data from isbndb.com, so that the tests
don't keep using up the daily allotment of requests for the key. Also
includes DUMMY.pm, a dummy connector for WebService::ISBNDB::Agent that
reads the XML from the snapshot files.
