I believe that you can still run the whole test suite on the C evaluator
by erasing all the .go files from the modules lib, setting auto compile off,
then running the check-guile script. It does take a while to start up,
though, since it reads the psyntax file each time a new script starts.
Haven't tried it lately, but, it has worked on previous versions of 2.0.
