If you provide a patch to do this, we can definitely take a look.

Eventually it would be nice to have an automated test suite that would be
run as part of 'make check' or something, and most people who compile
ORBit will want to be able to run some sort of demo or "yes it works" 
program. --enable-tests probably is overkill.
