make check (smoke test)

In the distro I use we should run "make check" in package build. These checks are usually some kind of smoke test: a simple integration test that proves that the binary is working on the platform. If possible the smoke test should not require spinning up vagrant/docker or use other heavy dependencies.

Since vc is merly an API client it is rather hard to check for functionality without an existing backend.

Maybe check the output of vc -v to see if the binary can be run? Would that be enough?

Yes. Maybe grep some output, to make sure it does something? Its a bit strange, but the best we can do, right? Would you do a make check or should it just include that in the package build?
