I like the phrase! guessing it means 'something' is  transformed?
Does that mean the entire test suite?

Dave,
Smoke test is a phrase dealing with an immediate failure of a piece of  
electronics causing rising smoke when it is initially powered up. Akin to  
"Letting 
the Smoke out".
 
In this case is should be a very quick indication of failure or  catastrophic 
failure of the build. It doesn't exhaustively test the system, just  a quick 
indication of go/no go.
