I'm afraid as yet, yes, you need to list all the four executables
separately in ASDF_TEST_LISPS.

The problem is that the way run_tests.sh is written for now is to run
the tests for a *single* lisp implementation (where each one of the ACL
variants counts as a "single lisp implementation").  It's the makefile
that handles iterating over all of the lisp implementations in
ASDF_TEST_LISPS, not the shell script.

I looked at restructuring run-tests.sh to permit looping over the
different ACL variants, with an eye to permitting one to say something like

run-tests.sh allegro64s

and get all of the variants of Allegro, 64-bit, SMP.  That is, for those
unfamiliar with the structure of ACL delivery, all of the variants that
are contained in a single directory.

Unfortunately, this would be a fairly significant refactoring, so I
decided to separate adding looping from the configuration.  It's also
possible that enhancing the makefile would be an easier way to achieve this.

Best,
