It's not quite so simple, really.  Currently, "make check" does a lot
of building in the process of testing things, and these test harnesses
really should be built and tested the same way as other parts of the
code base are built and tested -- otherwise the code will just rot, as
it clearly has already.

(All of the test harnesses build on FreeBSD 9.0 except for
superuser-t.c, which fails due to some problem with DES.)
