See my other comments.  It's currently for testing only, but this will 
likely change.

Can you clarify what the goal is?  If the

#include "../test-skeleton.c"

is at the end, it shall be possible to replace it with

#include <extras/test-skeleton.c>

already includes <extras/test-skeleton.c>?  (All names subject to revision.)
