Running "gmake test" was failing when it starts to try to do the three 

"test3" tests.  These tests depend upon files called:

   test3-data/01.input

   test3-data/01.answer

   test3-data/02.input

   test3-data/02.answer

   test3-data/03.input

   test3-data/03.answer

 These files are simply not included with the popt 1.7 source tarball.

 By googling around, they were found at:

 http://nesl.ee.ucla.edu/fw/han/old_machine_backup/overo-oe/tmp/work/i686-linux/popt-native-1.14-r2/popt-1.14/test3-data/

 but looking at the latest version of popt (1.16), and the testit.sh

 script in there has those three tests commented out:

 #run_diff test3 "test3 - 51" test3-data/01.input test3-data/01.answer

 #run_diff test3 "test3 - 52" test3-data/02.input test3-data/02.answer

 #run_diff test3 "test3 - 53" test3-data/03.input test3-data/03.answer

 This patch has been added to comment them out in a similar manner.

 If/when we upgrade to popt 1.16, then we can simply remove that patch.
