Are the reftests easy to run from another computer?

If you send me the commands to run, e.g.:

   $ git clone poppler.git
   $ cd poppler
   $ ./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=/opt/poppler && make && make install
   $ cd ..
   $ git clone poppler-reftests.git
   $ cd poppler-reftests
   $ ./run.sh /opt/poppler

I could run the reftests on my machine then send you the log file if
that qould help.

Thanks,
