`tests' should be inside the `mercury' directory.  There is some support for
having `tests' outside in the bootcheck script, but I believe that is all.  You
don't need mercury-gcc.

INSTALL_CVS does a bootcheck which is too slow.  For working on Mercury,
I do this:

    cvs co mercury
    cd mercury
    cvs co tests
    vim Mmake.params
    autoconf
    ./configure --prefix=/somewhere
    mmake depend && mmake -j2

Often you won't need to install at all, but if you need to: 

    mmake -j2 install LIBGRADES=

You can add grades to LIBGRADES instead of leaving it blank.

Currently those are failing on the nightly tests as well (at least in
some grades).
