  Well, the bindir option exists only to support PE DLLs, which have special
installation needs, and I thought I'd make the name slightly generic because I
figured future DLL-related tests could go there too.  So Win32 is definitely too
narrow, but I think pe-dll is about right.  Unless that is it's not worth naming
it with an eye to future expansion because there's no concern about
proliferation of .at files and a policy of trying to have lots of small
single-purpose test files rather than big collective ones, in which case how
about pe-dll-inst-bindir.at?  ;-)
