Assume that most developers are not running the junit tests through the
command line but using their ide's junit integration. Any ideas on how
skipping can be accomplished? (Without configuring their ide). We want a
default 'make check' (and whatever method an ide might use to run the
junit tests) to show that all tests have passed.

To look at it from the other point of view, why dont we have a flag/env
var that says ignore the @Ignore annotation during make check (or
something like that)?

Thanks,
