The executables are run as tests. That is, the package is a library and its functionality is tested by a bunch of example programs that link to the library and exercise different functionality. Those example programs are sometimes run multiple times with different command line options. > Are they there for running tests?

Yes, we can just delete the executable as part of the test execution, but when there are different tests using the same executable (each with different command-line options), we don't want to delete after each run but instead after all are done. I was hoping to be able to use .INTERMEDIATE for this.
