This is pretty handy, thank you.

If the package makes use of PKG_ADD in oct files this will fail. Something like
the following can help working around this.

    $(eval PKG_ADD = $(shell grep -Pho '(?<=// PKG_ADD: ).*' ${CC_SOURCES}))
    $(OCTAVE) --no-window-system --silent --eval 'addpath ("inst/"); '\
    'addpath ("src/"); ${PKG_ADD} runtests ("inst/"); runtests ("src/");'
