might be useful to have some way to run the test suite in a different

particular I remember that on Darwin this was important.

To build and run "make check" using various writable directories
on file systems of different types, do this:

  for d in $dir_list; do
    ( cd $d && $cu_srcdir/configure && make && make check )
  done

Yes, I know about srcdir builds (thanks for the reminder anyway). What I would *like* to do is build once, and be able to run just the tests somewhere else. (In this case, I am pretty sure I don't have the room to do the build where I want to run the tests, anyway.)
