I *need* it to make sure I install all the files.  Installcheck makes
sure that the program, once installed, behaves properly.  `check' per
se is ridiculous: who cares to know that the program works in the
build tree?  (of course you want that before installing, but that's
not the point).

Bison, Autoconf and M4 use installcheck to make sure that once
installed, they work properly.


# Run the test suite on the *installed* tree.
installcheck-local:
        $(SHELL) $(TESTSUITE) AUTOTEST_PATH=$(exec_prefix)/bin
