In this particular case, I want message digest tests in the libgcj
testsuite because they test important system components and are also
an excellent test of the compiler.  Everyone who builds gcc and runs
"make check" gets to run these tests, rather than the three people in
the world who routinely run Mauve.

Sure, add tests to Mauve as well, but it's not an alternative.
