[PATCH] build tests only when make check is called

Hi William and Trev,
I got a feeling that both of you are not aware of how development for
the non-Intel platforms works
(well, it is applicable for Intel embedded platforms as well).
Let me try to explain it.

Normally you generate your binaries using cross-compile tools on Intel
machine called host.
It is obvious that you can neither run package binaries nor tests on your host,
since they are let's say ARM or PPC binaries and not Intel one.
To be able to do so you need an extra HW where these binaries can run
e.g. ARM based board.
Usually it is called target.

So, out of each source package you generate at least 2 packages
e.g. speech-dispatcher-xyz.rpm and speech-dispatcher-tests-xyz.rpm

Then you build your complete image, bring it on the target and boot it.
After that you need to test what you have built.

For that you install on your target speech-dispatcher-tests.rpm and run tests.

William, with patch you have provided it is quite impossible.

HTH,
Andrei.
