When doing QA for gridengine the testsuite needs also fresh compiled test_xxxxx
binaries for the module tests (At least some tests need it). For that reason
everybody running a testsuite during QA has to rebuild its sources.

It would be a great enhancement if we also would get a package with the
test_xxxx binaries which normally are not included in the gridengine packages
but also compiled when building a gridengine disribution.

Of course the binaries have to be installed in the gridengine/source directory
or we have to re-work the testsuite to get the test binaries from a different
source. It might also be possible to have a SGE_TEST directory which contains
the test binaries.

Feel free to start a discussion ...
