Finally, this is just a comment that several of the developer tests do not have quickbuilds (i.e mpi_utilities, location, etc.). Would be good to add these in the future for the dev tests we want to keep in the repo.
Yeah the mpi_utitlies is a Makefile, I'll file an issue. The location tests I'm temped to pull out (see #388)
just an fyi if anyone is curious: the tests in the mpi_utilities dir were intended to be short, simple test programs that include NO dart code or libraries, no quickbuild, etc - just the f90 compiler and make. people having compile and run-time problems could use them to diagnose bad system configurations, wrong modules loaded, etc. it included programs to test a simple fortran compile, fortran with just netcdf, fortran with just mpi, etc. with no dart code included, people couldn't blame dart for non-dart build/run/system problems. but since no one knows they are there, they're probably never used in diagnosing user problems so maybe not useful anymore.
