I tried, but I wasn't able to get test script to run; probably because 
of my lack of knowledge of Python. My results were:

$ python test_all.py sun
skipping railsys test since QTDIR environment variable is unset
unit_tests :

'--quiet', '--debug', '--build-system=test']" returned 1

... I don't understand why it's trying to use the Linux x86 tools.

Honestly, I don't know. I cribbed that code from the Borland toolset, 
and figured whoever wrote it knew what they were talking about.
