You are right that when invoked by 'make check', it doesn't matter,
thanks to our use of $(SHELL).  But the tests seem independently useful
- if they have a chance of running in isolation without having any of
the 'make check' TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, then they should probably be all
executable so that someone could do 'cd tests && ./test-foo' rather than
'make -C tests check TESTS=test-foo' to rerun just a single test.
