Aha.  How can I run them to see how they fail?

I would prefer something more lightweight we could run with only a java
engine available.  It would be easier to run from github, and also
should be quick enough for everyone to run it before commiting.

My noark5-tester script is kind of a black box tester, and I suspect we
are better of by making that kind of tests as a separate system.
