+README
+======
+
+The test suite depends on Colm. Tests are now being written in a fictional
+mini-language designed for the purpose of testing ragel. The host language
+test-cases are then generated using a Colm Program. This allows one test case
+to be run against all host languages in addition to all code generation styles.
+
+It is possible to soft-link to external test directories. The external
+directory should have a 'runtests' program.
