If you have so many tests, why wouldn't you generate a single executable
which takes the name of the test as an argument and runs that test?

Something like the following, with additional error checking and etc.

data Test = Foo | Bar | ...
runTest :: Test -> IO ()
main = do
  (t:_) <- getArgs
  runTest (read t)

This is a pretty simple idea, just wanted to know why you don't go down
this path instead.
