I actually have something like this for CPPTRAJ - a more extensive
test suite that takes a bit longer to run but covers almost all
functionality. I keep it separate from the main test suite due to
size/time considerations. I am definitely in favor of this kind of
separation, since currently the main Amber test suite takes (in my
opinion anyway) a prohibitive amount of time to run. Personally I
think that any individual test case should be able to run in less than
2 seconds on a modern processor. I think that only quick tests of
basic functionality should remain in the test directory, with anything
else (that requires a few seconds or more to run) put into something
like a 'reg-test' directory. The 'reg-test' could then be provided as
a separate download that users can run if they like. This would trim
down both test time and tarball size.
So to summarize, I like the idea of something like 'test' / 'reg-test'.
