Yes, except that the valgrind setup doesn't actually interact with the
Makefile; it just assumes that git-* is interesting. I would be happy
with a solution that is triggered from test-lib. It may even be possible
to refactor the valgrind stuff, but I'm not sure. What Dscho eventually
submitted doesn't bear much resemblence to my original attempt, and I've
forgotten all of the details.
