Yidong already put parts of our test suite into Emacs back in the day,
but I don't know how to run it. :-) This is also why I did not update
those tests in the merge process, but instead ran a modified version of
our tests with Emacs proper which had all the stuff removed that is not
in Emacs.

We will have to discuss on emacs-devel how to go about this, and I'm
hoping we will be able to have new make targets for that. I think that
parts of the test suite could run by default, so that they are also
checked by the Hydra-CI server for Emacs. Most importantly, this would
include checking the parsers. The more involved EDE integration tests
would run on my Buildbot.
