I tried to add them, but encountered a lot of problems. Maybe the new
build system can help with that. But if you insist, I can try to get
them to work again in a different series now.

The tests run every day in the GitHub CI and any changes that go through
the pin-init-next tree will also be tested there before I submit any
PRs.

Miguel informed me that this Makefile won't exist in the new build
system, so I'd rather not do that.
