Well, it works well for me, but in any case, grep'ing for qitab in
/etc/group says that you should now have commit privileges for
lisp-invocation.

Well, we're already using lisp-invocation in some tests. With
minimakefile, it's also used by the scripting layer (instead of ad hoc
shell scripting), so fixes like that.

NB: run-tests.sh does use option -I and always has, since way back
before I got involved, says git blame — I didn't track just how far it
goes. There's definitely something weird going on, and I suppose it's
a bug in whichever version of clisp you're using. Maybe we can
convince the clisp developers to release 2.50 ?
