No. I meant excluded. Excluded algorithms are still checked for in the
test directory. The test file will print that the algorithm is not
supported if it has been excluded. If the test file is not there, make
test will fail with the error that test file not found. An alternative
fix would be to modify the test procedure so as to avoid testing
excluded algorithms.

You would stll have to do something about the fact that make test still
requires the files, even though the algorithms were not compiled in. I
thought it simpler to just link or copy the files. That way when you do
make test, you are specifically notified that the algorithm was not
supported. It seems like a reasonable check, in case excluding it was
not actually intended.
