Ah yes.  The tests will not be run by a 'make', but they will be
compiled, which is not what you want.  There is no configuration option
for this.  I am afraid you will need to patch the root Makefile.am file
by hand by omitting '@COND_TESTS@' from the SUBDIRS line, and then run
autoreconf.

(If you compile with the --without-gtk option, the test suite will also
not be built, but that defeats half the purpose of the library.  You
could add a rule to configure.ac which sets COND_TEST to "" and then
AC_SUBST's it near the end (right before AC_CONFIG_FILES), and then run
autreconf, but patching Makefile.am seems easier.)
