The correct repo is the one on Gitlab. The sourceforge is a mirror (run 
by the team). There also is a mirror on Github.

The "testall" exists in the "fixes_2_2" branch. (Which is used for 
current releases).

In the "main" branch the example folder was re-ordered. During this 
process the "testall" appears to have been removed. Not sure of the 
reasons...
Maybe oversight, maybe because it did not work. If the latter, then 
likely a working version can be re-added. I did sent a query to the 
person behind the change, hopefully he can shine some light on this.
