Pavel and Vincent have reminded me (thank you!) that "make test"
should not run the same tests that I might want to run personally.

My question is -- what should the role of export tests in 'make test' be?

Should 'make test' run export tests at all? If so, which LaTeX
dependencies should they depend on? A full TeX Live installation?
Which non-LaTeX dependencies, if any, should be required (e.g.
Gnumeric, R, knitr)?

Pavel's message here is relevant:

How do we define "full blown test" and "non-full blown test"?

I don't have a strong opinion on this because I have no experience
with the conventions of using 'make test'. It would be nice to iron
out what the guidelines are. We (I am happy to volunteer) can then
describe them in doc/Development.lyx.
