As does providing the --enable-tests to configure, btw.

AIUI 'cargo test' builds and runs those tests individually.

As we need to run the integration tests as root, and cargo doesn't play
nice unless you install it as root, and the executables include
md5(?) hashes in their names, it is a major PITA to run the full suite
as root.  Unless you do everything as root.

Anyway to get those names from cargo?

Assuming the gpio-sim module is already loaded, is it at all possible to
run tests as a low privilege user?  e.g. udev rules can be added to chown
the /dev/gpiochips into a gpio group.  Is it possible to do something
similar for the configfs and sysfs for the gpio-sim?
Or do we need a gpiosimd that will allow a user to launch and control
sims without being root ;-).

Cheers,
Kent.
