Using this functionality (after removing the mesa_dir definitions from inlists) would be a good way to avoid having to re-sed the tests each time you move them.

The explicit setting of mesa_dir to '../../..' in the test_suite inlists let's me work on multiple mesa's at once.   So it is a convenience for me.   I didn't anticipate wholesale copying of the test_suite to a different location!   For a brief time I was being careful to have all of the test case inlists  use '../inlist_test_suite' as an "extra" inlist --- e.g., this is in the agb/inlist &star_job section:

      read_extra_star_job_inlist3 = .true.
      extra_star_job_inlist3_name = '../inlist_test_suite'

Then inlist_test_suite would take care of setting mesa_dir for me instead of doing it in the various inlists.   Then there would only be one place to change now.  Unfortunately, my good intentions lost out to my more basic urges, so only a handful of the test cases work this way.   But that might be a good project someday for someone.
