That explains why, from within the testsuite, you'd like to be able to
override it for some tests.  It doesn't explain why an override from the
user calling 'make check' should be possible.  (IOW, I understand the
"this would be convenient" aspect, but it seems it should be possible to
construct the testsuite in a way to still not allow user overrides.)

Thanks,
Ralf
