This is a possible option.  Another that I prefer is letting Patchy
select the targets to build according to which files the patch touches
(the documentation would need to be built quite often then, as for
example every change in a .scm or .cc file would trigger a recompilation
of the docs, OTOH "make test" would not run for changes in
documentation-only files, IIRC like the ones in Documentation/).
Ideally changes in makefiles would even trigger a test of other targets
(dist, install install-doc, ...).
