No, seems fine to me :-) Those are the changes that I made. The ":S=.test" is
not needed because there is a SUFPYTHON_TEST (& SUFPYTHON_RUNTEST) defined
which is used in the renaming automatically now.

Some of this was just not having time :-\ Ideally for the stage rule I'd like
a way to factor the code that I copied from main-target so that it's common.

Yikes, what did Dreamweaver do :-O I'll go fix all those. And add more
documentation, but hopefully not more errors ;-)

In the "test-development" branch right? Yea, I only tested the main line. I'll
take a look to see if things break with the new one.
