It also came in handy today to test how to handle a valid response I don't know
how to make the server generate easily (a RandR GetProviderInfo call that
returned providers with multiple capabilities), so I went ahead and moved it
from my home dir into the xorg shared git repos with the other test suites:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/test/xhiv

Others with xorg git repo access should feel free to commit to it as we do with
all our other non-xserver repos.
