Yes.  But djtst was not yet revved up to be as automatic as djlsr.  In
particular, it probably doesn't work in the cross-build environment.

There's another problem with djtst: the test programs usually don't
tell you whether the results are okay or not.  You need to examine the
results and decide that by yorself.  Sometimes this decision requires
a fairly good knowledge of library internals.

If you feel like working on that, please do.

We usually try very hard to avoid using anything but stock djdev
binaries (and Make).  Thus, `find', Bash, and `pwd' are out.  You can
instead use the special programs (like makemake.exe, misc.exe, etc.)
written specifically for building djlsr without any other GNU tools.
