It's great the automated Jenkins runs caught this error and that it's
now fixed. It'd be even better if we can facilitate simple runs of a
suitable subset of tests prior to a commit. It looks like "make test"
is close, despite the warnings it emits about being experimental. Is
there a path we can take to support it, for at least a common case of
developing and testing on a FreeBSD-CURRENT install?
