There is no methodology for skipping tests yet. However, your fifo
example is there only case I'm aware of where a feature of scsh
doesn't work on all systems. I would rather declare this a bug in scsh
(which of course we cannot fix) than changing the test suite to skip
the test. We could add some output to test-all saying which tests are
known to fail due to bug in scsh or add an optional argument to
add-test! which indicates whether the test is known to fail.
