I would prefer to include the test suite if possible, because the ability
to type "nosetests pandas" makes it easy both for users to verify
installations are working properly and for downstream distributors to
identify and report bugs. The complete pandas test suite still runs in
20-30 minutes, so I think it's still fairly reasonable to use it for these
purposes.

This sounds like a great idea -- these files have really gotten out of
control!
