That's the easy way to run all the current tests.  It should be possible
to add minimal makefile glue to run all the regression tests.

Skipping some of the tests may also be possible by using a technique
similar to the src/ tree, e.g.:

    SUBDIRS = \
        foo \
        ${_bar} \
        baz

    .if defined(WITH_BAR)
    _bar = bar
    .endif
