running tests

[Fredrik Öhrström]

How about this?

make quicktest
# Runs a fast subset that verifies the basic
# functionality of all modules. Should complete
# in less than a minute.

make test
# Runs all tests! Takes a long time.

make performance_tests
# Test performance benchmarks
make gc_tests
# Test garbage collectors
make codegen_tests
# Test the compilers c1/c2/c3.... (oh, do I wish there was only one)

Any more groups of tests Jon?
