+Update: doesn't work as described. Try "make check" from parent dir...

+
+To run the test suite, change to this directory and run "./runtest". It will
+run all of the test cases, and list those with unexpected outcomes. Adding the
+-v option will cause it to show expected outcomes as well. To only run the test
+cases for particular applets, specify them as parameters to runtest.
+
+The test cases for an applet reside in the subdirectory of the applet name. The
+name of the test case should be the assertion that is tested. The test case
+should be a shell fragment that returns successfully if the test case passes,
+and unsuccessfully otherwise.
+
+If the test case relies on a certain feature, it should include the string
+"FEATURE: " followed by the name of the feature in a comment. If it is always
+expected to fail, it should include the string "XFAIL" in a comment.
+
+For the entire testsuite, the copyright is as follows:
