We definitely need to do something. I spent the last few hours trying to
build/add a "smoke test" for a patch [1] and have gotten absolutely no
where. I had to change the "smoke.test.xml" file to compile against the JRE
being built, so I could get it to compile, but after that I couldn't get it
to PASS. I've given up for the moment. How do these tests work?

Can't I just create a JUnit TestCase, drop it into a test folder and have it
run against the JRE that was built? The smoke tests just seem like an ad hoc
JUnit framework. Do we need that?
