Comment (by eschnett):

 Since distribute also builds the Cactus source tree, running the testsuite
 doesn't slow things down by much. You can prevent building with --no-build
 (or --no-clean if you don't want to build from scratch), and you can say
 --no-testsuite to skip running the testsuite.

 For me, distribute is not just a tool to test simfactory, but to test a
 complete Cactus installation. We could add a new script that calls
 distribute with a few specific parameters to skip everything but testing
 simfactory, i.e. choosing a non-standard configuration name, building
 quicker by not optimising, using a minimal thorn list, and not running the
 testsuite.
