The TAP v13 formatter contains a lot of improvements. Unfortunately, a lot of CPAN module tests look at the exact output of Test::Builder. They'll break.

One way to to fix this is to have a legacy TAP formatter, we'll call it TAP::TB1, which outputs just like Test::Builder 0.x does. Then test suites can use it. Test::Builder::Tester can also default to it.

Your task is to write this.

• Don't show a TAP version header
• The ending commentary must match Test::Builder
• ok( 1, "" ) must output "ok 1 - " (see #84)
• The casing of SKIP and TODO must match

That's off the top of my head.

Since most of the differences are strings embedded in complicated logic, a good solution would be to turn those strings into configurable attributes. Then have the TB1 formatter use different defaults.

219 should be done first.

There's probably other issues, but it will shake out as we test it against CPAN modules.
