Review Comment:
   > This looks like checking out `xalan-test` as a subdirectory of 
`xalan-java`, while the build script is expecting it to be a sibling directory:
   
   Actually, tests can be run from either location. But fulldist needs it as a 
sibling.
   
   Unfortunately the CI system didn't like me checking out into Xalan's parent 
directory. But it was willing to let me check out locally and then _move_ the 
tests up to a sibling position.
   
   Since I didn't discover the fulldist requirement until after I'd gotten past 
test, the yaml script currently checks out xalan-test as a child, runs the 
tests from there, then moves it up to sibling before running fulldist. This may 
not be the most self-evident approach, and the yaml script now has a comment 
explaining this. 
   
   Yes, setting test.relpath was probably at least as clean. But I wanted 
fulldist to replicate the environment we use for our own production builds.
   
   And yes, we could try the mv workaround earlier rather than having test in 
different places at different times. 
   
   "Make it work, make it good, make it great. It now demonstrably works. Clean 
up can be left as technical debt, though I'd give it low priority since this 
will change somewhat if test is brought into the main Xalan tree.
