Yep. In fact automake has a basic one built in. Programs return:
0 - pass
77 - not applicable
1 - fail

and automake sums them all for us.

there is a target check_ for use with make check - ie
check_PROGRAMS = test1 test2

test1 and test2 are only built for make check..

Still, if anyone has -specific- needs, I'd rather put the appropriate
framework together before writing tests, rather than writing tests and
then changing the framework.
