New description:

 See #2841.  Aside from its own problem of inet_pton, it occurred to me
 that it may make sense to allow users to skip building anything
 related to tests.  Most end users don't care to run these tests, so
 skipping these tests will help reduce build time further, and it will
 also help avoid portability or other build time issues that only
 happen for test only things.

 Specifically, we'd add a new ./configure option, e.g.,
 `--without-tests`.  If it's specified we don't build anything under
 "tests" directories (so, gtests are built only when both
 `--with-gtest(-source)` and `--with-tests` are specified).

 `--without-tests` shouldn't be specified by default for development
 branches and git master, but we'll specify it by default for releases.
