It was good enough for my purpose, but it's not portable
and not even reliable on my development system.
I used it while revamping du to help ensure that my

I suppose it belongs in tests/du/.

ls/ls-tests was once generated, but hasn't been used for a long time
tr/range-tests contained testing notes from 10 years ago.
