I moved them into a "tests" sub-directory.

If you don't want to do that, you should also be able to use "explicit"
to make it so that it doesn't run unless you request it on the
command-line.  I haven't tried this with unit tests, but it works fine
with regular targets.

    test-suite foo : ..... ;
    explicit foo ;

Hope this helps.
