Description
Can a basic test be included with a make check target?
It can be the same used for in-tree building, it can help know a level of confidence on what's installed with the library.

Research direction
Locate the existing in-tree test and the current build entry points, then trace how an out-of-tree build invokes them. Done means a make check target runs the same basic test for an out-of-tree build and gives confidence in the installed library.
