     Instructions for standalone test regressions of libxml2
  
  libxml2-tests-$version.tar.gz contains 3 standalone C programs as well
  as a large amount of tests and results coming from libxml2 itself and
  from W3C, NIST, Sun Microsystems, Microsoft and James Clark. Each C
  program has a different testing purpose:
  
    runtest.c : runs libxml2 basic internal regression tests
    runsuite.c: runs libxml2 against external regression tests
    testapi.c : exercises the library public entry points
    testchar.c: exercise the check of character ranges and UTF-8 validation
  
  The command:
  
    make check
  or
    make -f Makefile.tests check
  
  should be sufficient on an Unix system to build and exercise the tests
  for the version of the library installed on the system. Note however
  that there isn't backward compatibility provided so if the installed
  version is older than the testsuite one, failing to compile or run the tests
  is likely. In any event this won't work with an installed libxml2 older
  than 2.6.20.
  
  Building on other platforms should be a matter of compiling the C files
  like any other program using libxml2, running the test should be done
  simply by launching the resulting executables.
  
  Also note the availability of a "make valgrind" target which will run the
  above tests under valgrind to check for memory errors (but this relies
  on the availability of the valgrind command and take far more time to
  complete).
