The package seems to be building tests during "make all" phase even though I don't have FEATURES=test enabled. For details see my blog: http://blog.flameeyes.eu/articles/2008/06/11/please-dont-build-your-examples-by-default .

It would be nice if the tests were disabled by default and only built with FEATURES=test. You can find an example patch usually suitable for upstream on the blog above.

Thanks,
Diego

I don't really see how it hurts. Also, I think your patch is wrong, tests should be compiled on "make check", not be removed from SUBDIRS.
