"make check" does not always catch a missing executable

[teuben]

a missing executable doesn't trigger a FAIL message in "make check"

[teuben]

not clear if this is still an issue: removing an BIN= (or even a NEED=) binary from a Testfile
directory correctly shows FAIL now.

[teuben]

Found a case: remove ccdrow and perhaps being in a pipe, it does not correctly report a FAIL

[teuben]

The solution should be that for every target in the BIN= in a Testfile, there needs to be a direct test in that target without being in that pipe, viz.

foobar:
$(EXEC) foobar ... ; nemo.coverage foobar.c

though additional tests are sstill useful to test other aspects of the program. @Vmbundu
