1.1     ! misho       1:                        README.tests
        !             2: 
        !             3:    Instructions for standalone test regressions of libxml2
        !             4: 
        !             5: libxml2-tests-$version.tar.gz contains 3 standalone C programs as well
        !             6: as a large amount of tests and results coming from libxml2 itself and
        !             7: from W3C, NIST, Sun Microsystems, Microsoft and James Clark. Each C
        !             8: program has a different testing purpose:
        !             9: 
        !            10:   runtest.c : runs libxml2 basic internal regression tests
        !            11:   runsuite.c: runs libxml2 against external regression tests
        !            12:   testapi.c : exercises the library public entry points
        !            13:   testchar.c: exercise the check of character ranges and UTF-8 validation
        !            14: 
        !            15: The command:
        !            16: 
        !            17:   make -f Makefile.tests check
        !            18: 
        !            19: should be sufficient on an Unix system to build and exercise the tests
        !            20: for the version of the library installed on the system. Note however
        !            21: that there isn't backward compatibility provided so if the installed
        !            22: version is older to the testsuite one, failing to compile or run the tests
        !            23: is likely. In any event this won't work with an installed libxml2 older
        !            24: than 2.6.20.
        !            25: Building on other platfroms should be a matter of compiling the C files
        !            26: like any other program using libxml2, running the test should be done
        !            27: simply by launching the resulting executables.
        !            28:
