I need to install another test suite and point to it.  That isn't
exactly an easy setup compared to having one self contained one.  If it
is just one testsuite for a specific file system that might be fine
(but then why even bother wiring up in xfstests?), but doing that
for lots of bits that test core code is just a nightmare.
