Of course it takes it into account. What it does is let you add extra
checks easily. But I am not going to accept the divergence in
vcregress.pl from the way we run tests using the standard tools. Yes,
ssl tests should have a new target, as should any other new set of
tests. We don't have a single make target for tap tests and neither
should we in vcregress.pl.
