speeding up regression testing by disabling building of tests?

[Dan Kegel]

Lots of the time in regression searches is spent
compiling tests, but when you're only going to
run the app that's breaking, that's not too useful.
How does one disable compilation of conformance tests?
I have this funny feeling Lei or Mikolaj did this
recently, but I couldn't track it down.

Try my hack:

You need to do autoconf after applying, then build with configure
--disable-tests. I still wish alexandre would accept this into the main
tree. :-/

Cheers,
