That was discussed years ago, when we have introduced the different
SELECT_* variables in test/Makefile. The most common use case for 'make
<filename>' is for developers, checking their package. It makes sense to
run expensive tests in this case, so I don't like to change it.

What we could think about is a configurable preference, which SELECTOR_*
variable to apply for 'make <filename>' by default. A 'configure'
option?

Best regards, Michael.
