It hurts when it matters and it also hurts the host (just not as bad)
- when trying to turn around a test result after (possibly) tweaking a
single .c file, vis:

   make base kvm-install kvm-test KVM_TESTS=testing/pluto/basic-pluto-01

Some time back I went through all this pain with the web code - Paul
pointed out it was crippling KVM.  From memory, the critical thing was
to drop -dirty (it's not exactly a must have) but I need to re-confirm
this.
