I was looking at the test output of the CMake tests recently, and I

program is run directly instead of through run_tests.py.
I don't think that's a very good idea. Sure, developers can run
individual tests like that, but run-tests.py adds some common
semantics that the build system shouldn't just skip. Like, for
example, running XML validation on command output. It also handles
test parallelization. I understand that the CMake project can run each
test function from all the tests separately, but it's possible to do
that through run-tests.py.
The alternative would probably be to install python-lxml and
python-rnc2rng on the Windows test runners. I already did that for
Linux runners (both autotools and cmake), because it is a bit more
controlled than creating a virtual environment on the fly. However, I
don't (want to?) know now to do that with vcpkg.
Never mind. It was enough to run 'python -m pip' to install.
