no tests need to be removed.
My response was to Martin, who proposed exactly that.
All that needs to be done is to distinguish
tests that require the recommended packages from those that don't. Then
users can choose which test set they want to run.
Go ahead and submit a patch that does this, and I expect it would be
accepted.

It would be particularly nice if "make check" would do the right thing
automatically based on the choice of --with{,out}-recommended-packages
at ./configure time. Offering two separate "check" targets would be
equally good, though.
Best regards,
Peter
