  check*suite.py

What are you trying to do ? What I support is detailed in README.tests
that what you should run. The others are experimental, hard to assemble
and any problem there will require you to debug, or need analysis of some
hard parts of the XML spec.
In a nutshell the regressions tests I'm ready to support are those described
in README.tests, and "make tests", they are other tests but they are not
for a general consumption.
