What is the correct way to specify requirements for tap tests such that kyua skips this test if it doesn't exist? The only option I've come up with thus far is commenting out the multi_test suite altogether from the Makefile.

Yes you can. (Note that those parenthesis ought to be braces though.)

And you could do:

TEST_METADATA.multi_test+= required_files="/usr/share/dict/words"

in the Makefile to avoid having to write a Kyuafile by hand.

Fixed in r263388; thanks!
