I apologise. Re-reading this mail and that mail, I now see my confusion 
was that I believed that the "test" variable method was supposed to be a 
valid method of running the existing testsuite and getting back success 
/ failure, instead of providing a method (now depricated) in which the 
testsuite could be written (taking notice of the value "test" takes). 
I'll try to pay more attention in future.
