I think this ought to be a general rule.  We need exceptions to it for
some executable-changed cases, but I think in general different tests
should build different executables, because this makes it easier to do
additional checking by hand.

I think this should be append rather than lappend, as pf_prefix is just
a string, not a list.

I've occasionally wanted a wrapper like 'with_pf_prefix $whatever { body }'.
But not enough to write it :)
