I think it is reasonable to consider comparing as part of the checking
process.  Right now, make doesn't imply make check.  I can envision a
change in make, so that check is in fact implied.  make && make
install then has neat interesting semantics.

I think I would rather see comparing as part of the check process, and
we should just encourage people to do make check.  Maybe make check is
appropriate to add to the end of a bootstrap?
