For several reasons. It's not simply a matter of running that command.
You also have to bundle up the various log files. Also, if all we do is
"check-world" and it fails that fact gives us relatively little
information, whereas if it passes "make check" but fails "make -C
contrib check" we'll have more information. So I'm not terribly excited
about combining steps too much.
