It's not conceived just as a way to test separate executables; maybe it
is at the moment (though I don't think it is?) but if so that's just an
accident. The intention is to have modules that get tested without them
being installed, which wasn't the case when they were in contrib.
The problem with check-world is that buildfarm doesn't run it. We don't
want to set up separate buildfarm modules for each subdir in src/test;
that would be pretty tedious.
