You can build them by specifying explicitly the version of QC to use:

ghc -O2 --make -package QuickCheck-1.2.0.0 tests/test_XPrompt.hs -o xprompt
./xprompt


Sometimes you need a script to could be run with a script that extracts
all prop_ functions like [1], for tests like tests/test_Selective.hs


Ideally, somebody could set up something to run all tests (adding some
more), using something like [2].
