Running tests

I'm wondering what the latest thinking is on running tests? Back in May 
I remember that Magnus added a test target with a TEST variable that 
would pass test targets through the existing/old Makefile. I'm just 
wondering if that will change or where this might go. I could imagine 
configure being run with the location of jtreg for example. I could 
imagine test targets having a dependency on an up to date build. At the 
same time I could imagine wanting to run tests and specify a different 
JDK to run the tests on (someone might want to run tests with the newly 
built JDK and some other JDK so that they can compare results for example).
