"make check" is what the Gnu Coding Standards specify:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Standard-Targets
So I think it should stay as it is - at least for the gnu-build-system

I was curious how many times we use test-target:
$ grep test-target gnu/packages/*scm | wc -l
87
$ grep test-target gnu/packages/*scm | grep \"test\" | wc -l
52
$ grep test-target gnu/packages/*scm | grep \"tests\" | wc -l
8
I guess the real question is, will running an extra `make test' after
`make check' break anything? Also, I'm sure some of the makefiles have
one as an alias of the other, we don't want to run the tests twice.
