Ah - you just want to run a smaller set of tests, and faster than
running all of the 'make unittest' changes in master ?

Nah - it's not soffice; but a unit test linked with some biggish chunks
of code.

I would suggest two things:
a) we can add an environment variable and check for it in
gnumake such that only one set of tests is run:
make TEST_SUBSET=filters-test unitcheck
or somesuch.
b) we could (try) to hack cppunit to stringify the test-name in
it's macros; so you could specify just one test to run:
make TEST_SUBSET=filters-test TESTS=testDatabaseRanges unitcheck
And do some cunning filtering somewhere there - might require more
cppunit patching / tweaking [ if that is not there already, perhaps it
is ].
But of course; the easy & quick way out is to comment these out I
guess.
HTH,
Michael.
