That will probably be possible. But as I was staring at
config/gen/makefiles/root.in, I couldn't figure out where $(PARROT_ARGS)
is originally defined in line such as this:
test : test_prep
$(PERL) t/harness $(EXTRA_TEST_ARGS) $(PARROT_ARGS)
IIRC, I posted on #parrot but no one on channel was sure. That's why,
for a first pass, I decided to try something other than t/harness. And
it was low-hanging fruit; @developing_tests was already defined as an
'our' variable in Parrot::Harness::DefaultTests.
So can anyone identify the source of $(PARROT_ARGS)?
