Yes,  I've been working on the assumption that 'make' is used to drive
all this - it has complete knowledge of all dependencies (unlike
kvmrunner.py).  However, fighting this is the reality that developers
want an easy way to invoke an individual test.  'make' in a test
directory?  kvmrun.py drive make with correct arguments?

(the alternative would be to hack up something so that kvmrunner
somehow magically parse Makefile.inc.local (I don't want to create yet
another config file).
