I would be interested to know how can we test the file API without testing libc, for example. But yes, that's the idea. Redesign the tests in a way that we output something when the results of the test is not what was expected, instead of testing random outputs from random libraries (in various versions and flavours). No big change in run-tests (none?) but a lot of necessary changes in existing tests.
