Details:

Problem:
If a file has at least one '%!test' block, all the tests (including '%!test'
and '%!xtest' types) in this file can be executed from 'runtests',
but if a file has only '%!xtest' block, this file cannot be tested from
'runtests'.

Possible solutions:
Modify file '/usr/share/octave/3.6.4/m/testfun/runtests.m' line 88 column 43
as

-    retval = ! isempty (regexp (str, '^%!(test|assert|error|warning)',
"lineanchors"));
+    retval = ! isempty (regexp (str, '^%!(test|xtest|assert|error|warning)',
"lineanchors"));
