heh, we've been playing game "who first mention it in public will implement it" ... you won! ;-)

AFAIK we have:
- 'perf test' for perf specific functionality
- 'make -f tests/make' for building
- build framework tests

I 'try' to run those before sending anything out, but we dont have
automated thing that would run it any time Arnaldo push new perf/core.

The RedHat QE has some more perf tool tests. There was some movement
to make those public, but not sure how it ended up.. ccing Michael Petlan
for news on this ;-)
