When we first started running the libCom tests on VxWorks I found it
useful for the test harness munch file to be installed into the
bin/<arch> directory instead of buried somewhere inside the source tree.
This is no longer as advantageous since the tests now depend on various
other files (mostly .dbd and .db) which are also spread around the
source tree (although maybe not quite as much), so I have to cd around
the tree anyway to be able to run them.

We don't currently have a way to build Base without also building the
tests, but that's actually a completely orthogonal issue. If we wanted
that I would probably implement it by adding a TEST_DIRS variable
(analogous to DIRS) and only descend into those directories when
actually building tests. We only have one TESTPROD being built in a non-
test directory at the moment:

Entering 'pva2pva'
p2pApp/Makefile:TESTPROD_HOST += testmon

Title:
  TestHarness should be TESTPROD instead of PROD

Status in EPICS Base:
  In Progress
Status in EPICS Base 7.0 series:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Several "TestHarness" vxWorks and RTEMS products are built as
  PROD_vxWorks and PROD_RTEMS instead of TESTPROD_vxWorks and
  TESTPROD_RTEMS even though they depend on TESTLIB code. This seems a
  bit inconsistent. Changing them to TESTPROD would allow to build EPICS
  base without tests, which could speed up the development cycle in an
  early phase when building the tests is not yet needed.

  Attached is a patch for EPICS 7 base. The same could be done for the
  submodules.
