Ah, yes.  Two of the tests were run by the buid script at one time, but
that was commented out when the tests didn't work in the in-tree
environment.  Although that's fixed now, I didn't bother to uncomment
them, because I think it would be better to work them in with waf's test
runner rather than just throw in a couple of shell commands.  But there
are some things that need to be figured out to make Python-based tests
work in the waf test framework.

Yes.  But not a release blocker either way.
