May-be this design flaw already has infected other BSPs - I haven't 
checked :)

The problem is polluting BSPs with an application specific (here: 
testsuites) defines or (worse) files (e.g. my very friend: The tm27.h 
stuff).

Well, there essentially is nothing wrong in adding more "--enable-<*>" 
options to enable users to skip something, except that such options 
should be avoided whenever possibile.

However there are better approaches ... unfortunately the current time 
is not right to add them.
