My pleasure, John.

Attached is an updated patch relative to dev ~23 Dec '19.
I had to adapt some code by Oliver/Lachlan as strcat() wrangles the test
output files to something like:

## DO NOT EDIT!%!test
<rest of test code>

rather than

## DO NOT EDIT!  Generated automatically .....
<rest of test code>

What this cset does:
* extract tests out of *.cc files
* copies them into similarly named *.cc-tst files
* copies them over to the archdependent subdir.

Also attached is a cset for oruntests.m that can run tests in *.cc-tst files.
With that fix there's at least some way that tests in .cc-tst files in
archdependent package subdirs of installed packages can be executed.
I was looking into the patch in bug #41215 comment #11 (typo in my comment #4
below) but that one gives very clumsy output. I'll comment there a little
later.
