There is no reason why you should not want to run bootchecks in parallel
in two test directories, except performance on uniprocessors. The locking
should not be needed for the installation part either if different test
directories install distinct sets of files. I think directories that differ in
branch do. Directories that differ in C compiler do not, but maybe they should.
