 They probably could, but especially under Linux it would be really nice if
the program could be tested without requiring root permissions, which are
normally necessary for installing it under /opt. But even leaving the
permission issues aside, it's very unusual to require installing before
being able to run the tests. I.e. the traditional workflow is "make && make
check && make install".
