---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Our story for testing libraries is in disarray, and needs cleaning up.
 Tests for libraries can now be placed in the repositories with the
 libraries themselves, and these tests are picked up when you say `make` in
 `testsuite/tests/ghc-regress`.

 The following tests need to be moved into their respective packages, and
 in some cases given appropriate .T scripts:

  * everything in `testsuite/tests/libraries`
  * everything in `testsuite/tests/ghc-regress/lib`

 tests that are package-specific but are really GHC regression tests should
 stay in the testsuite, and use the `reqlib` option.
