This script should eventually replace the spaghetti in the "check"
target in Makefile.in. What I'd like to do in the not-so-long run is
kill every shell script in the test suite, replacing them with
equivalent Python code.

Right now I'd be eternally grateful to anyone who'd care to review this
script, or -- may I hope for a miracle? -- actually test it on a Unix
box. The recipe is fairly simple: edit Makefile.in, replacing the
"check" target with the example at the end of the scripts; then
autogen.sh && make && make check. At this point I don't care if the
tests pass, just that they run. :-)
