This is exactly why tests/lib is a libtool convenience (noinst) library and
tp-qt4 has its own copy - the tp-glib and tp-qt4 tests should be able to
assert about the exact behaviour of the test CMs in tests/lib, and a
system-wide installation of unknown version would break that ability.

If tp-glib and tp-qt4 are going to be in the same git repository, they can
just use the same tests/lib and it'll all be fine (if someone developing
a tp-glib feature breaks the tp-qt4 tests' expectations, that developer is
responsible for fixing the tp-qt4 tests to catch up).

If not, perhaps tests/lib should become a common submodule or something?
