I have cut-n-pasted the remainder of the testsuite/README into the
RunningTests wiki page. I also added a couple of comments about the
meaning of the word "fail". It is used inconsistently, sometimes to
mean a compilation failure (which is desired, reveals no bug), and
sometimes a test failure (undesired, indicates a bug). I tried to
explain which meaning was intended next to each usage, but I might have
got it wrong.

Malcolm
