With some more experimentation, I discovered the 'make test' may have
been failing because 
 blib/script/minivend 
had hardcoded library paths to /usr/local/mvend/ , even though the
software wasn't installed yet! Here's the relevent lines from that file:

use lib '/usr/local/mvend/lib';
#use lib '~_~INSTALLPRIVLIB~_~';
use lib '/usr/local/mvend';
#use lib '~_~INSTALLARCHLIB~_~';

I ended up moving and backing up my 3.x branch install, and doing 'make
install' the 4.0alpha11, without getting 'make test' to work.. That
worked fine and the server started up fine. I was able to modify a
couple test pages from a 3.x catalog without too much trouble to work on
the new system. 
  I also installed MiniMate-4.0alpha8.0.1  and excepting a minor
permission problem reading a catalog.cfg file, that install also went
fine, and a test of it's basic functionality revealed no problems. I
still have a lot of exploring to do in both packages, but right now, the
alpha branch is looking good!
