I completely agree. 
By default all the checks should be included, as it is now. But it would 
be nice if there was a target to skip these checks. I'm not sure if it 
makes sense to provide two different flavours: all_nocheck and 
all_nodepend.  
So a "quick&dirty" target would be nice, and please make sure it is also 
easy to type (e.g. "nodep" and "nocheck", and please without "_")
