+ TESTS in Detail
+ ---------------
+
+ The make variable TESTS supports a versatile set of space separated tokens
+ with which you can specify a set of tests to be performed.  With a "current
+ set of tests" in mind, initially being empty, here are the possible tokens:
+
+ alltests       The current set of tests becomes the whole set of available
+                tests (as listed when you do 'make list-tests' or similar).
+ xxx            Adds the test 'xxx' to the current set of tests.
+ -xxx           Removes 'xxx' from the current set of tests.  If this is the
+                first token in the list, the current set of tests is first
+                assigned the whole set of available tests, effectively making
+                this token equivalent to TESTS="alltests -xxx"
+
+ Also, all tokens except for "alltests" may have wildcards, such as *.
+ (on Unix and Windows, BSD style wildcards are supported, while on VMS,
+ it's VMS style wildcards)
+
+ Example: All tests except for the fuzz tests:
+
+ $ make TESTS=-test_fuzz test
+
+ or (if you want to be explicit)
+
+ $ make TESTS='alltests -test_fuzz' test
+
+ Example: All tests that have a name starting with "test_ssl" but not those
+ starting with "test_ssl_":
+
+ $ make TESTS='test_ssl* -test_ssl_*' test
+
