I think we should also run the 'make test' as part of that.  There may
be subtle differences in the way that the two different test systems
invoke selftest.pl, and it's important to test those, at least until the
top level build runs 'make test' across the entire tree.

I think we should also turn on the --enable-s3build option the top level
autobuild or by default in master.  This build likewise needs to stay
working, and if we make it the default in master, this should not be a
great burden.

My preference is for us to have --enable-s3build be the default in
master, so that all the binaries are built all the time, and so I can
start on an integrated 'make test'.
