FWIW the reason I haven't prepped & submitted the patches for this is
that we decided that plain "runtest" would not use the same directory
layout as parallel mode.  So, the Makefiles are still needed for cleanup
in this mode.

If nobody cares about that -- I certainly don't, I never use "make
clean" in the test suite -- then I'm happy to go ahead.
