That would be really weird. I think it would be better in the 'make' phase (i.e., the 'all' target). People don't really expect things to get built during testing. What if someone (or an automated installation tool) skips the testing phase, for instance?
To add stuff to a Makefile target, see the "Overriding MakeMaker Methods" section in the ExtUtils::MakeMaker docs.
