My immediate goal is for R7RS-small and also the most important
SRFI's, for example 1 (lists).

I agree with this. In fact after I wrote an email I thought about
exactly the same issue.
However I also have a solution: we could write a simple Scheme script
that uses `read` to read each test and spit out a file only with that
s-expression. (In my proposal a `test-group` would be the only
allowed top-level statement, and inside `test-group` one can mix
`test` statements and "normal" tests.)

Until then I'll try to come-up with a running proposal that matches
both our goals.
