The detection is done in the generated Makefile which invokes
tap-driver.sh with the appropriate command line arguments.  Duplicating
detection inside the test driver would make sense only in the context of
invoking it interactively.

Do you have a use case where we would want to invoke tap-driver.sh
outside of the 'make check' context?

Thanks.
