Well, step one is to avoid intertwining the existing xml->ly test 
infrastructure with the new ly->xml test infrastructure.  I would put ly->xml 
test input in a different directory.  I would probably also plan to rename 
input/regression/musicxml to input/regression/musicxml2ly, but I don't see a 
good reason to spend time on that until the new tests are established.

(I have to go now.  I'll continue later.)
