These results show a difference in index sorting.  Even though there is
a stub for Unicode::Collate, the tests will not all pass without it.
"configure" prints a warning about index sorting so users should not be
too surprised if the tests fail.

configure: WARNING: Perl module Unicode::Collate was not found.
configure: WARNING: texi2any may sort document indices incorrectly.

More tests would have failed under tp/t if the modules had been installed
to run these tests (Test::More, Data::Compare, Test::Deep).
