Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Remove "install" and "test" script

I assume that these scripts were added for local testing purposes.  I am
removing them because they are not in the upstream origin and are not
required for recommended installation.  If the maintainers find these
scripts useful, please feel free to revert this commit.
