Hi Magnus,

thank you so much for doing this patch! Having a convenient way to run tests from the Makefiles is something I have wanted for a very long time :) Unfortunately I don't have the required Makefile knowledge to review this, but if I can help out with testing the patch, just let me know.

Sure, go ahead and test it. The easiest way might be to check out my branch in the jdk9-sandbox, ihse-testmakefiles-branch. There are slight differences to the published patch but none that really matters. (Most noticeably I have introduced a constantly failing test in gtest for testing purposes.)

This patch introduces a new, alternative "run-test" target, which allows for a smoother developer experience in running tests. It does not modify or remove any existing ways of running tests, which are still needed for automated test systems and old scripts.
