Description Simon Feltman 2012-09-02 00:50:11 UTC 
There are currently a handful of large test cases in the test_overrides module. I propose breaking this into multiple files based on the test cases. 

test_glib
test_pango
test_gdk
test_gtk
test_gio

TestGtk should be further broken into multiple test cases within the test_gtk file based on the specific groupings of features being tested within Gtk.

This has two major benefits:
* It will improve readability and maintenance by making it easier for hackers to add new tests and improve existing ones.
* If the override modules are moved directly into their respective APIs source package, moving the tests along with them will become trivial.

I agree, that's a good idea. It also makes running individual tests slightly easier.
