+ automake, aclocal: honour configure-time AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE
+ Currently, the Automake's own configure script allow definition
+ of AUTOCONF and AUTOM4TE, expected to point respectively to an
+ autoconf and autom4te programs. But while these definitions are
+ honoured in the Automake's build systems and test suite, they
+ were *not* honoured in the generated `automake' and `aclocal'
+ scripts. This behaviour, apart from being wrong in that it does
+ not allow the user enough freedom in choosing his tools, also
+ caused inconsistencies in the test suite, brining to spurious
+ failures.
+ Problem reported by Graham Reitz on the automake list; see thread:
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-05/msg00022.html>
+ * automake.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOCONF', not simply `autoconf'.

+
+ tests/README: fix example about `make -e' usage
+ * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"): When
+ some variable is never initialized in the Makefile, `-e' is not
+ necessary in order to override it. DESTDIR is such a variable: we
+ ensure that we do not ever initialize it. And as such, it is quite
+ portable to use:
+ $ make DESTDIR=/foo/bar install
+ and in fact, quite widely used.
+ So our example about when `make -e' is required, which references
+ the `DESTDIR' variable, is poorly chosen, if not downright wrong.
+ Rewrite it to use `prefix' as the overridden variable instead.
+
+2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ testsuite: avoid re-running few tests with 'parallel-tests' option
+ Some tests in our testsuite use the 'simple-tests' driver only
+ marginally, or simply as a mean to conveniently check unrelated
+ invariants. It makes little sense to force these tests to also
+ run with the 'parallel-tests' Automake option active, as doing so
+ offers no real gain in coverage, while often causing a measurable
+ overhead in execution time (for an already too-slow testsuite).
+ * tests/pr401.test (parallel_tests): Define to "no", to prevent
+ the generation of a sibling test script using the 'parallel-tests'
+ driver.
+ * tests/pr401b.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/pr401c.test: Likewise.

+ for this behaviour.

+2011-05-20 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests/README: update obsoleted advice
+ * tests/README (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do"):
+ Do not suggest to use the `*-p.test' pattern for the names of
+ hand-written tests which use the `parallel-tests' Automake option.
+ Not only is this not respected by the existing tests, but it is
+ more likely to cause conflicts with auto-generated tests.
+ So, suggest to *avoid* using the `*-p.test' pattern in names
+ of hand-written tests instead.
+ (Section "Writing test cases" subsection "Do not"): When
+ suggesting not to override Makefile variables using command
+ line arguments, do not use the badly outdated variables `U'
+ and 'ANSI2KNR' in the example; instead, use the more common
+ and typical `DESTDIR'.

+ * tests/libtool4.test: Adjust and extend. Also, add a call to
+ macro AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake
+ does not fail for the wrong reasons.
+ * tests/ltinit.test: New test, ensure that automake's libtool
+ support works with LT_INIT-based interface.
+ Thanks to Jack Kelly for the suggestion.

+ tests: tempdirs with restrictive permissions are cleaned correctly
+ Before this change, the removal of a temporary test directory
+ containing subdirectories with restrictive permissions (such as
+ 'r--r--r--') could fail.
+ * tests/defs: Ensure that all the subdirectories of a temporary
+ test directory have the 'read', 'write' and 'execute' bits set,
+ before trying to remove it with `rm -rf'.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local-check): Likewise.
