pspp-convert is much less of a problem, because I only see a few calls
to it.  It's easy enough to add $RUNNER directly to those.

Yes, this is more of a problem.

I did a quick check and found:
datasheet-test.exe
inexactify.exe
sack.exe
command-name-test.exe
scan-test.exe
segment-test.exe
abt-test.exe
bt-test.exe
cmac-aes256-test.exe
encoding-guesser-test.exe
heap-test.exe
hmap-test.exe
hmapx-test.exe
i18n-test.exe
line-reader-test.exe
ll-test.exe
llx-test.exe
range-map-test.exe
range-set-test.exe
range-tower-test.exe
sparse-array-test.exe
sparse-xarray-test.exe
stringi-map-test.exe
stringi-set-test.exe
string-map-test.exe
string-set-test.exe
str-test.exe
tower-test.exe
u8-istream-test.exe
zip-test.exe
chart-get-scale-test.exe
chart-get-ticks-format-test.exe
render-test.exe
syntax-gen-test.exe

Wouldn' t it work when $RUNNER is used in the calls for these programs?  Maybe I can run a test a see how many of the tests complete then.
