Right, I thought about that too.  The main hurdle is that: 1) right now 
almost every test in "make test" is failing; 2) the testsuite run by 
"make test" is very noisy, does not create logs, etc.  If we could use 
autotest... :)

We could also have check-i386, check-qmp, etc. and check would simply 
call all of them.
