the newly added "test" target is problematic. firstly, as it doesn't
do what "make test" is expected to do, it should probably not override
that. if the normal upstream build infrastructure can't be used (i.e.
-DTESTS=On and fix whatever is causing it to fail) then it should use
a different name ("build-tests" or something?) with a comment explaining
it. or convert to do-test and have it also run the tests. also it needs
to use ${WRKBUILD} rather than just whatever that happens to expand to
on your system.
