Ignoring test error

Hi,

after commit 94306c8b0d61a53b19dcee18475ea8692b001f5d 'make foo.log' in the
test directory exits successfully even if the test fails. I don't think
that is the best behavior, because the exit status is often used to
determine whether any test has failed. Rather, 'make check' should use
'make -k' for the tests.

How about this? (my initial attempt of just making the 'check' recipe
do '@${MAKE} -k check-doit ...' ran into the problem that the summary
was skipped on test failure)
