Fair enough.  Now that you mention it, I remember seeing a "test" target in 
many makefiles.

But here's a question: Does it only regenerate the pages of documentation 
for the files where the source of the documentation has changed? Does it 
only re-run test cases for code that has been recompiled since it last ran 
test cases? Or is it more like "this would be a shell script, but we already 
have a makefile so we might as well put it in there"?
