We already use OpenMP for a number of tests. It's not a hard
dependency - if the configure script doesn't detect OpenMP, it will
just run them serially. 

I don't think Makefile hackery would be simpler since right now all we
have to do to get the test suite running is this:

        TESTS = $(TESTPROGRAMS)
