I would like to emphasize that having a single file was a goal: I meant the test suite to be easy to copy, to install, etc. I would have loved to have split tests though, so that you could easily re-run a specific test in its own testsuite.dir/111/ directory. The problem was to make independent split tests without using functions. Now that we can have functions, that's much more doable. I once thought about using shar to build testsuite as a single program that would expand into more independent scripts, and a master to drive them. It would also ease the creation of a common store where some tests could share material. I never had time to do it. Maybe, if the idea looks sound, someone will... :)
