If only modifying the testsuite, in the vast majority of cases it
suffices to 
  $EDITOR some-test.at
  make testsuite
  scp testsuite host:

and on the host, run the test suite again (plus optionally modify other
package sources).  That's one of the (few) advantages of having the
whole suite as a single script.
