        <pre>there should be an option to --disable-tests

so one can work around blocker bugs like
<a class="bz_bug_link

   title="NEW --- - build fails because FE_INVALID is used uncoditionally in tests"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=55771">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55771</a>

and save a lot of time when compiling on slow or even emulated cpu's where the
build of the tests alone can take hours</pre>
