At least if it ever gets exported, then TEST will be throwing a monkey
wrench into a few build systems, I suspect.

It seems you've re-invented something that David Rothenberger has
implemented before in a slightly different way:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.applications/26034
It's also integrated in my patched-up version of cygport here:
git://repo.or.cz/cygport/rpm-style.git
FWIW, I've been using Dave's patch a few times and it seems slightly
less verbose than what you've got.
Regards,
Achim.
