Thus said, instead of adding a script, I'd favor a new make target
which can search all test cases and run them - incl. (very-)expensive
if necessary. Something like
make check-some T=cp
Yes I agree.
Attached is a patch that adds a 'makefile' target to test a program.
Examples:
make check-prog T=sort
make check-very-expensive-prog T=tail

Subject: [PATCH] maint: add makefile shortcut to test one program
* Makefile.am: add 'check-prog', 'check-expensive-prog',
'check-very-expensive-prog' targets to quickly find and run tests
relating to a specific program
* HACKING: document new options.
Typical usage, run all 'tail' tests:
make check-prog T=tail

+To run all existing tests for a specific program (e.g. 'seq'), run:
+
+ make check-prog T=seq
+
+Similarly, to run expensive or very expensive tests, run:

+ make check-expensive-prog T=tail
