In general I like the idea as a feature for my own use too.

Bug? When you have 0 found headers in a directory though you get an
error relating to the lack of tests...
*** argument error
* rule test-suite ( suite-name : tests + )
* called with: ( repository.headers :  )
* missing argument tests

Not sure about the the weird escaped values for the test
objects/executables/etc. looks odd.

MkDir1 bin/directory%2finclude%2fsomeincludefile%2eh.test

etc
