Sorry, I did remember, but should perhaps have been clearer about what I 
meant in my mail. I remember you telling me this was an older method of 
running the testsuite. What I didn't realise until now (but perhaps 
should have) is that it is totally broken, and doesn't actually do 
anything useful, although it looks a bit like it does at first.

While it's perhaps easier to do nothing, it seems like it would be 
better to fix it so does something useful, or finish killing it off so 
people don't think it does anything useful :)
