I don't think so, but the variables are pretty confusing I could be
wrong. My understanding is that TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED is for tests.
But tests which you don't want to run as unit tests. Like performance
tests, or some slow tests I guess. TEST_GEN_FILES is for building
dependencies and tools which are themselves not tests.
