[Python-Dev] any opinion on 'make quicktest'?

[Jeremy Hylton]

I run the regression test a lot.  I have found that it is often useful
to exclude some of the slowest tests for most of the test runs and
then do a full test run before I commit changes.  Would anyone be
opposed to a quicktest target in the Makefile that supports this
practice?  There are a small number of tests that each take at least
10 seconds to complete.
