Yeah, it's documented in testsuite/README so I'll find it next time.  1/2 :-)

I'd long since forgotten about the wiki page.
Having both places being reasonably large, and neither having a reference
to the other, is unfortunate.
[The README mentions the wiki, but without an explicit link
it's not that helpful.]

I'd be happy with gutting testsuite/README and just mentioning the wiki url.
Thoughts?
