About the Makefile target "check"

[Xue Fuqiao]

Hi,

In a recent discussion of emacs-devel, Phillip Lord suggested[1] renaming
"make check" to "make test" since it's more intuitive.  Several other
Emacs hackers agree with him[2][3].

I also think "test" is more intuitive than "check", but an alias
(instead of renaming "check" to "test") would be better, because many
people are used to "make check".

The following nodes need changing:

* 
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html#Standard-Targets
* 
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Standard-Targets.html#Standard-Targets
* 
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Standard-Targets.html#Standard-Targets

If my suggestion is accepted, I'll also send it to address@hidden and
address@hidden .
