Probably worth doing.  I'm not sure we'd want to include this second
tier of tests in the distributions though.

Just about any large package which has its own testsuites is a good
candidate.  For example, I've found spec92 to be quite useful both to
judge some performance issues *and* to track down code gen problems.
