That's exactly what I came up with.

Well, it was mainly changing the test scripts to be created from
check.test.in files, and a lot of @top_srcdir@ and @address@hidden to be
inserted.  It just took time to get familiar with all that auto-magic
and finding the right places to insert the variables.

I have already implemented the `make installcheck' idea, and it seems
to work out.  Right now I'm testing `make distcheck' to make sure it
works, but unfortunately, every run takes a loooooooooooong time...

I will commit to stable branch when I finished testing.  When it works
out, I plan to port it back to unstable.
