OK, this is simpler than a complete "make dist". But still, doing only

    $EDITOR some-test.at

on the target machine would be quicker, if the network connection is
sufficiently fast for $EDITOR. Otherwise, if $EDITOR on the target machine
is unusable, this would be two steps, not three:

    $EDITOR some-test.at
    scp some-test.at host:

I still don't see the advantage of requiring a "make testsuite" step.
