yes - I only intended the test/makefile's install.test target to be
used in the package that can be built with test/make-tar.sh

To make it optional in the top-level makefile, I'd have to separate that
from the default "install" rule.  test-programs seem to be the only thing
that most people wouldn't want as part of that rule.
