They fail due to not matching the pattern when calling glob, so not 
relaxng related at all. Only happens when the test filename does not 
contain the _ character as the pattern is: ./test/relaxng/%s_?.xml

I do have an in-progress test suite on the make level but never finished 
it off when the test executables started getting pushed. If there is 
interest I don't mind revisiting it.
