#1502: Test that "make corevm" works as expected

----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
It seems that often a refactor causes "make corevm" to build more than it
should (like PGE). We a test to verify that it works correctly, so this is
caught early.
From #parrot on 6. March 2010:
{{{
19:28:26 <@dukeleto> we *reaaaaaaally* need a test that verifies that
"make corevm" does what it is supposed to do
19:30:03 <@allison> dukeleto: difficult to test
19:31:36 <@dukeleto> allison: sure, but a worthy goal. the test would have
to create a copy of the source tree and then verify that it is doing the
right thing. not something
that should be part of "make test", but I would say
it would be good to have that in "make fulltest"
19:32:31 <@allison> duke: it could check a list of files that shouldn't
exist after a "make realclean" and "make corevm"
19:32:37 <@dukeleto> every time "make corevm" breaks, you can hear a
screeching halt of productivity from some devs that rely on it, like
plobsing
19:32:42 <@dukeleto> allison: that is a nice idea
