Many of the "build style" macro files define targets for
'.tested-and-compared' and '.tested'.  You're correct that configure.mk
defaults to having rules for running a test suite, because projects that
use autoconf-generated configure scripts almost universally generate a
Makefile that has a 'test' target, even if it does nothing.

It appears that "squeak" doesn't define any build style currently, so it's
using the base set of targets, with customization and addition directly in
squeak's Makefile.

It's possible you could define a BUILD_STYLE (before the inclusion of
shared-macros.mk, see other components that do this) for something more
specific.  Does squeak use Cmake?  BUILD_STYLE=cmake.  Does it just use
a Makefile, with no configure process?  BUILD_STYLE=justmake.

It all depends on how squeak is built, but using a more specific
BUILD_STYLE may get you the macro set that defines all of the
test-related setup you need.
