Well, this doesn't make much sense.

Theoretically a "testsuite" would consist of 2 different test programs:
- Link/build test programs (Does it still compile/link).
These would be noinst_PROGRAMS (Not run).

- Feature tests/programs to be run as part of a testsuite.
These would be check_PROGRAMS (Run during "make check").

EXTRA_PROGRAMS would rarely make sense.
