Yes, I meant bash scripts. Sorry if this was not very clear.

I am thinking of something (roughly) like this:
./jnlp-reproducers --compile
./jnlp-reproducers --test-all
./jnlp-reproducers --test simple 'Spaces can be everywhere.jnlp'

Then again, I am not sure if it is really a good idea - especially the 
bit that moves compiling instructions away from the makefile. But I 
think it's an excellent opportunity to sneak in my idea about easily 
being able to run a single test from the command line ;)

As for restoring IFS, you can do simple assignments in the makefile to 
restore IFS:
IFS=$IFS_BACKUP

Thanks,
