+Data format tests
+=================
+
+These aren't really unit tests, but run fine through the same
+framework.
+
+The file [`run.scm`](run.scm) contains a reference calendar (or
+"master record") component which should contain all weird cases which
+may be encountered. It then tries to serialize this component to all
+registered serialization formats (iCalendar, xCalendar, ...) and
+checks it against a pre vetted reference file.
+
+It then takes the serialized form and parses it back into a Guile data
+structure, and checks it against the "master record".
