Yep - commit 2bd24003b99, in Aug 2010.

Is it worth a patch that would add a configure variable, such as
./configure --enable-test-builds, which can be used to always compile
the tests for development, but leave test compilation optional for
others that only want it built if they plan on running 'make check'?  It
would be a matter of setting up an automake variable, something like:

tests = virshtest conftest ...
if ENABLE_TEST_BUILDS
noinst_PROGRAMS = $tests
else
check_PROGRAMS = $tests
endif

Or is it not worth the bother, where I can just be lazy and leave things
the way they are.
