There are several places in the code that use test with -e or -f or -d
(or -h or...) in order to check for the presence of a
file/directory/symlink/etc.  For example,
   test -f path1/file1
This could be made more clear and produce nicer error messages if it
were instead
   test_path_is_file path1/file1

There are likewise several that use one of
   ! test -e path/to/filename
or
   ! test -f path/to/filename
or
  test ! -f path/to/filename
which could be replaced by
  test_path_is_missing path/to/filename

This GSoC microproject is just about picking one testfile that has
some of these constructs, and fixing the cases found within that
testfile.
