The qt4 test suite consists of two parts:
* the test harness, which provides a compile-time check that no-one has broken 
source compatibility:
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/qt4/tests/
* the files required for the test harnesses to actually perform the checks:
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/poppler/test/unittestcases/

I don't really mind if you move any of
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/poppler/test/
as long as you leave the unittestcases directory behind.

So what are you hoping to achieve?
