+# capability to enable an extended testbench. By default, this is off. The reason
+# for this switch is that some test simply take too long to execute them on a regular
+# basis. So we enable to skip them, while the majority of tests can still be used. The
+# idea is that at least "make distcheck" executes the extended testbench, and also
+# developers should explicitely enable it after important changes. -- rgerhards, 2010-04-12
