 Hmm no, I want a way to create this environment.  :)

 I want a way to hook a xvfb-run to init the environment of the
 testsuite, exactly like this achieves (this is what I'm using right
 now):
    MAKE := xvfb-run $(MAKE)

 But using MAKE for this is really ugly as it affects all make
 invocations and "xvfb-run" isn't exactly pretty.
