Should we split pan from the tree so it can be its own package?

There already is a libltp.a according to lib/Makefile.

Personally, I couldn't care less about automake or the GNU Coding
Standard.  GNU Make is advanced enough these days that you don't need
automake to have a good non-recursive build.

I would like to encourage use of LTP tools as a basis for other test
suites.  I have yet to see anyone from the community explore the nesting
of pan to build interesting workloads.  I find that ability invaluable
in my testing of cluster products.
