+\r
+Because not every test actually has those implicit dependencies. For\r
+example, some of the crypto tests depend upon emacs_deliver_message\r
+working correctly for subsequents tests. Those emacs_deliver_message\r
+tests are skipped, but not the ones after it that try to do something\r
+with that injected message.\r
+\r
+For the emacs-* test files, there are some tests that act the same\r
+way. However, it is also a minor speed improvement to say that,\r
+obviously, none of the emacs tests are going to work, so just don't\r
+bother.\r
