The wallet backend test suite now supports using a database other than

SQLite for testing.

Also start a new Util.pm module for the test suite and move the contents

 This directory contains additional data files needed to run some tests.
 
+By default, all the tests are done using a SQLite database.  To test

+string, normally of the form:
+
+    database=<name>;host=<host>;port=<port>
+
+replacing <name>, <host>, and <port> with the parameters for your
+database.  The third line should be the username to use, and the fourth
+and last line should be the password.  If this file is present, all tests
+except part of the schema test will be run against this database instead

 In order to run the keytab tests, you will need to grant the test
 processes access to create, download, and remove principals in a test KDC.
 This should not be pointed at a production KDC!  Then, create the
