`python -m test -uall` will test everything (where 'python' invokes
the interpreter you built, which may be "python_d.exe" on Windows if
you built in Debug mode, or "python.exe" on OSX).  If you're testing
2.7, '-m test' needs to be '-m test.regrtest'.

For any further detail, check Tim's link to the devguide, specifically
the chapter on running tests.
