The purpose of the test is to fail if there are any local modifications
to the source tree.  Ignore it during local development.

The SimpleInstall and SimpleInstall-Stage2 tests need to be refactored
to overcome this.  Almost all of what they cover is also covered
by the ExportImport test, so for now I think you can simply exclude
the SimpleInstall tests with this generator.  Please leave a comment
explaining why so that future development can fix it.
