perhaps it's simpler (and maybe even a tad faster) to say

case "${testcase##*/}" in
\#*|*\~|"CVS"|.*) continue ;;
esac

I think that it was possible to invoke one test-series for exactly one
applet by doing:
$ ./runtest test.tests

But this doesn't seem to work anymore?

PS: reading test.tests, perhaps it would make sense to allow for
"command" to prevent using builtins? Just curious..
