I've moved all of the tests into a directory named "tests". There are
some conformance tests which print out "pass" or "fail". Nothing
should fail. There are also some speed tests to see how well the
compiler optimizes the code. These are explained in more detail in
tests/README.
Let me know if there is anything else I should do.
