Ok, but I don't see any reason to require that option if -b/-B is
given.  Why would you ever want to do an in-place build and test in
the build subdir at the same time?

So let's say absent -b/-B, an in-place test is run unless -x (okay,
pick something better ;) is given, in which case a build-dir test is
run.
