The biggest problem I see with the tests that SimonM is moving is that they have to be run inside a built GHC source tree, which makes it hard to work just on the libraries or test them on another compiler.

This is really a problem with the driver and infrastructure, not the tests themselves. It would be good to have a standalone driver program that doesn't depend on the hierarchy of Makefiles and knows how to run the tests with different implementations. Thanks Ian
