The gnulib testsuite is relatively stable - the only times it is likely to have a test change from pass to fail is on a gnulib submodule update or a major system change (such as moving from Fedora 18 to 19, or other large change to libc). While it is an important test for end users on arbitrary machines (to make sure that the portability glue works for their machine), it mostly wastes time for development testing (as most developers aren't making any of the major changes that would cause gnulib tests to alter behavior). Thus, it pays to make the tests optional at configure time, defaulting to off for development, on for tarballs, with autobuilders requesting it to be on. It also helps to allow a make-time override, via VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE=[01] (much the way automake sets up V=[01] for overriding the configure time default of how verbose to be).
ACK.
