[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Speed up 'make check' operation

[Dan McGee]

Instead of using our "binaries" in our calls to pactest and vercmptest, use the
libtool linked ones. We need to ensure they are created by calling the scripts
once, and from there we can use them directly. This has some pretty large
benefits due to much reduced forking of processes.

Note: I am not sure this will work on all platforms, namely Cygwin. Further
testing is necessary.
