Using 'make check' will (with newish automake) run the tests
in parallel.
This has several consequences:
- The tests run faster overall (measured: 20 mins -> 14 mins)
- Failure output is written to a file, not displayed, requiring
changes to autobuilders.
- Tests must be modified so they do not overwrite each others files.
