Hi,

Thanks for the patch.

The patch needs to signed and the title is too long (part of it should be in the body). See the following contributing guidelines:

    http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/7935/

I don't know if people will want to add more compile time options. In general we are trying to remove them.

I do like the idea of being able to turn off building app/test which can a long time (even with -j).

Maybe it should only be built when you run "make test".

John.
