The remote part is skipped because you are on MS Windows. Expensive
checks are skipped only for "make check" and "make check-maybe". "make
file-notify-tests" run all possible tests in that file.

Description of how to run the tests needs more care. I put it on my
TODO.

The syntax of selectors is given by ert. See (info "(ert) Test Selectors")
