We did something similar to this by having a custom unit-test rule
that calls into a custom generator.  The generator rule then forwards
onto testing.capture-output and **passed** rules.  We have a feature
called "runtest" which is either on/off/always.  in always mode it
marks the $(target:S=.test) as ALWAYS.
