no easy way to run some tests

[Robert Collins]

It would be great to be able to say
make check SUITES=foo,bar

(because dtr requires a bunch of options to DTRT).

Hi! Generally, make check does not take options per-se... You could, however, do make test-foo, where that make command corresponds to a specific set of suites (there are already a few of those in the main Makefile.am)

Also, what is a "bunch of options" for dtr? To run foo and bar suites, one should only have to do this:

cd tests && ./dtr --suite=foo,bar

I've added a "make test-all" target which runs all test suites and can be modified by specifying a comma separated list of suites in the $(ALL_TESTS) macro. For now you need to cd to the tests directory to run this target

PLUGIN_TESTS = crc32,csv,hello_world,md5
ALL_TESTS = main,big,$(PLUGIN_TESTS)

Thanks, that looks good.
@jay re options to dtr, I was looking at Makefile{.am,in,} where many
options are passed to dtr - and on my system at least, not passing all
of the results in dtr crashing.
