test : coretest codetest spectest_regression with appropriate documentation changes. the tests we expect to pass reliably should be the default tests we run. we expect all spectest_regression tests to pass reliably. the default test target should always be named 'test'. it seems natural that we add spectest_regression to the 'test' makefile target. additionally, this would have possibly prevented the 74 failures post-mdd-merge, since allison didn't know about the additional test target in the makefile. ~jerry
