Remove no-longer-useful README.  All that's left here now is the GHCi
tests, which aren't ready to be moved over to the new testsuite yet.

-                       GHC COMPILER TESTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This directory contains the regression tests for the compiler and the
-prelude libraries.  Regression tests meaning "correctness", NoFib
-deals with "performance". Note that regression tests for other parts
-of the ghc system (such as the driver, runtime system, system libs)
-belong elsewhere.
-
-Each test takes the form of a single program (for example, reader001.hs)
-and files which specify ghc's expected error output (reader001.stderr).
-
-"make reader001.runtest" will compile reader001.hs using ghc and compare
-the resulting output with that specified in the file reader001.stderr.
-
-"make all" run all tests.
-
-If you want to set compilation options globally from the commandline,
-use `make EXTRA_HC_OPTS="-foo-option -blah', for global runstdtest options
-use EXTRA_RUNTEST_OPTS.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-                       ADDING A NEW TEST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-To add a new test copy your Haskell program into an appropriately named
-file in the appropriate directory (for example, "typecheck/tc093.hs" for
-the 93rd typechecker test).
-
-If the test needs to set the compiler options to something other than
-the default for the directory, either modify the SRC_HC_OPTS (applies
-to all tests in that directory), or set some extra per-file compiler
-options. For example,
-
-  tc093_HC_OPTS = -noC -ddump-tc 
-
--noC tells not bother generating any C (no point in doing that, since
-we only want to test the typechecker. NOTE: Currently the driver does
-not handle the -noC flag anymore).  -ddump-tc tells ghc to dump the
-typechecker state.
-
-Depending on the tests/ subdirectory, a default exit code is
-expected from all tests therein, normally 0 (==success).
-Per-file options to the runtests script can be set as follows
-
-  tc093_RUNTEST_OPTS = -x 1
-
-telling the test script that the compiler is expected to fail
-on tc093.
-
-"touch" the file tc093.stderr.  "make tc093.o" will then run
-the compiler and fail (because the expected output doesn't match the empty
-tc093.stderr).  However, it is then easy to update tc093.stderr with the
-stuff printed out during "make tc093.o". An alternative is to run
-`make' with EXTRA_RUNTEST_OPTS=-accept-output on the new test, and the
-runtest script will add the stderr&stdout dump files for you *in the
-build tree*.
