Though I really don't think it's a good idea, have you tried just adding 
install : check to your Makefile.am?

Anyways, the reason I don't think it's a good idea is that it will break 
cross-compiling, as your test programs will probably not run on the build 
host in that case..

NB: I've never tried adding install : check to a Makefile.am, so I'm not 
*sure* it works, but I'd say it's wroth a try.. :)
