So, gnulib-tool would have command-line options
--with[out]-long-running-tests
--with[out]-unportable-tests [for tests that fail on some platforms,
e.g. flock, unlink, poll]
--with[out]-c++-tests
?
Sounds very reasonable to me.
IMO the default for --import and --update should be that these
tests are all turned off by default. For --create-testdir the
default has to be the same, otherwise people will be too confused.
Therefore a new option --with-all-tests will be required, for
the normal use of --create-testdir.

Yes, simply removing the attribute "long-running" will do it.
I like your idea.
