I'm a bit surprised no -I is neaded here. Is that taken care in the CC call?

The instructions were already wrong, but maybe they should be updated to
point out that calling the test scripts directly requires smtp-dummy and
symbol-test already be built. Or maybe the tests should check for these
binaries as pre-reqs along with emacs, gpg, etc...

I wonder if this should be shortened (and made a bit sloppier) with the
use of regexes.
