I'm not sure if (in this case) a missing unzip should be as silent as
you suggest. The danger is, that s.o. makes a change, runs `make test`
and is then conviced that nothing broke. So I think that the test
should fail, but with a more descriptive error than it is now.
The downside is, you need unzip, svn, what ever more to run the test
suite.
Best regards
