I used that, and it worked, but in a subdirectory there was a
difficulty since TESTS has to be the same than in the parent
directory.  So I use a wrapper script in the subdirectory.

More precisely, in the parent directory the test script is
long_tests.sh and in the Makefile.am there is:

   long_TESTS = long_tests.sh

   long-check: all
           $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) TESTS='$(long_TESTS)' check

In the subdirectory (many_input_files/), the Makefile.am excerpt is

   long_TESTS = tex_l2h.sh tex_t4ht.sh

   long-check: all
           $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) TESTS='$(long_TESTS)' check

with a wrapper script in the subdirectory, also called long_tests.sh
which simply calls:

   make long-test
