I think this is a good idea.

However, I'm afraid not all of the java compilers around do support
-target, so I'm hesitating to put it in the makefile as default, as this
could annoy Alex Bodnaru :-)

Yes. The reason for this is that two of the test applications are only
slightly adopted versions of Pauls original tests, while the others were
derived from our in-house work. Another problem was that, originally,
some of the test cases were "allowed" to fail against older PostGIS
versions, needing manual re-checking of the output. It was not until
recently that I added a check for the postgis version so the test
programs know which tests to run, and which are allowed to fail.

On my todo list for those tests is to have them output only a small
summary, and write everything else into a test log file. Another idea
may be using junit or another test framework, but I don't like the idea
of adding another dependency.
