If we rely on END to clean up the temporary data folder, there is no
need to impact each test file, just the test functions called in
TestLib.pm that could switch a flag to not perform any cleanup at the
end of the run should an unexpected result be found. Now I am as well
curious to see what you have in mind with manipulating
Makefile.global.
