Hi Igor,

the difficulty simply is that I overlooked a possibility.

You can say
   make TESTS='etexdir/wprob.test etexdir/etriptest.test' check-TESTS
to run the e-TeX specific tests and/or
   make bin_PROGRAMS=etex DESTDIR=/staging-area install-binPROGRAMS
to install e-TeX under, e.g., /staging-area/usr/bin.
With a sufficiently new version from SVN both commands will actually
first (re-)build the e-TeX binary, if necessary.

Peter
