+ tests: fix unindent to use printf not echo for script.
+ * tests/defs.in: Use printf rather than echo, as the latter may
+ interpret the backslashes in the sed script. Fixes test
+ failures with dash as /bin/sh.

+
+ maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
+ The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
+ the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can
+ cause some supported autoconf versions to fail with a spurious
+ error if that test name contains the name of an m4 or m4sugar
+ builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
+ See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.
+ This change add a maintainer check that warns about test names
+ which are possibly problematic in this regard.
+ * Makefile.am (sc_test_names): New maintainer-check target.
+ (syntax_check_rules): Add it.
+ (m4_builtins): New helper variable.
+ (TESTS): Updated according to the following renamings.
+ * tests/include.test: Renamed ...
+ * tests/hdr-vars-defined-once.test: ... to this.
+ * tests/sinclude.test: Renamed ...
+ * tests/m4-inclusion.test: ... to this, and simplified
+ accordingly.
+ * tests/include2.test: Renamed ...
+ * tests/dist-included-parent-dir.test: ... to this, for
+ consistency.

+ tests: fix bug in alloca*.test
+ * tests/alloca.test: Make grepping of automake stderr stricter,
+ add a trailing `:' command; also, add AC_PROG_CC to configure.in,
+ and create a dummy alloca.c file, to ensure that we fail for the
+ proper reason.
+ * tests/alloca2.test: Likewise. Also, look for LT_INIT, not
+ AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, in the error message (bug introduced with commit
+ v1.11-315-gd51e7b7 "libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES
+ primary is used").
+ From a report by Patrick Welche.

+
+ tests: fix bug (comments-in-var-defn.test + autoconf 2.62)
+ * tests/comments-in-var-defn.test: The configure.in stub created
+ by default, which has the AC_INIT first argument obtained by the
+ test name, causes autoconf 2.62 to fail with a spurious error
+ message like: "configure.in:1: error: defn: undefined macro:".
+ Thus, to prevent this, the test is renamed to ...
+ * tests/comments-in-var-def.test: ... this.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.

+
+ libtool: suggest LT_INIT if LTLIBRARIES primary is used
+ When the LTLIBRARIES primary was used, but $(LIBTOOL) wasn't
+ defined, automake suggested to add a call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
+ in configure.ac. But that macro is deprecated since Libtool
+ version 1.9b (2004-08-29), in favor of the newer LT_INIT. So
+ suggest the use of this latter macro instead.
+ * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_am_macro_for_var): Pair 'LIBTOOL'
+ with 'LT_INIT', not with 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'.
+ * 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.
+ * 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.
