I tend to agree with you. `make check` should be running some other
unit tests. For instance, if we had a test suite for the view server,
that could go here, as well as Jan's config tests, and hopefully a
whole suite of unit tests eventually.

The thing about this test client is that it should take a couchdb host
URL as an argument anyway. This makes it more broadly useful, for
instance via shell scripts to check the health of a cluster.
