i don't have an opinion on the other aspects mentioned in this thread, but i 
don't think this should be a configure flag.  it only affects the `make check` 
step, and would require re-running configure to turn off the setting which would 
trigger rebuilding of other things (yes, i know you can modify the config 
outputs directly, but you can do that already to enable fast-check).
