+       coverage: test for automake bug#8485 (known regression)

+       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Update.

 +      test defs: define default $distdir (help reducing duplication)
 +      * tests/defs.in ($distdir): New variable, might be used in
 +      testcases checking distribution-related features.
 +      * tests/pr9.test: Use it.
 +      * tests/subdir9.test: Likewise.
 +      * tests/vtexi3.test: Add comment explaining why we redefine
 +      $distdir in this test.

 +
 +      depcomp: fix bugs in tests and in the depcomp script
 +      * lib/depcomp (gcc): Remove duplicated `-e' from sed invocation.
 +      * tests/depcomp10.test: Make it executable.  Fix a blunder that
 +      has left part of an intended comment not prefixed by `#', thus
 +      causing shell syntax errors.  In this same comment, break a
 +      too-long reported error message on multiple lines, for clarity.
 +      Add reference to the relevant bug report.  Add a comment which
 +      explains why the test result 'skipped' if the first "make" call
 +      fails.  Add other useful comments.
 +      * tests/depcomp9.test: Slightly improve comments.

 +      Fix hp depmode for VPATH builds with GNU make.
 +      * lib/depcomp: Be sure to remove VPATH-prefixed object from
 +      dependency output when creating stub rule.
 +      * tests/depcomp10.test: New test.
 +      * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
 +      * NEWS: Update.

 +
 +      test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions
 +      The Java compiler from JDK 1.5 (and presumably earlier versions)
 +      cannot handle the `-version' option by itself; and while it does
 +      print the version number, it then errors out with an usage error:
 +        $ javac -version
 +        javac 1.5.0_22
 +        javac: no source files
 +        Usage: javac <options> <source files>
 +        ...
 +      Luckily, adding the `-help' option to the `javac' invocation
 +      seems to fix this problem.
 +      * tests/defs.in (javac): Pass also the `-help' option to the
 +      `javac' program.  Add a comment explaining why it is needed.
 +      Report from Ralf Wildenhues.
 +
 +2011-04-10  Stefano Lattarini  <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
 +
 +      test defs: new requirement for the default java compiler
 +      * tests/defs.in (for tool in $required): New requirement 'javac'.
 +      * tests/java.test: Use it instead of ad-hoc configure check.
 +      * tests/java-check.test: Likewise.
 +      * tests/instfail-java.test: Likewise.
 +      * tests/instdir-java.test: Likewise.

 +
 +      java: check_JAVA does not cause compilation by "make all" anymore
 +      Fixes automake bug#8234.
 +      * automake.in (handle_java): Make stamp of class files built from
 +      java sources in $(check_JAVA) a dependency of `check' target, not
 +      `all' target.
 +      * tests/java-check.test: New test.
 +      * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
 +      * NEWS: Update.
 +      * THANKS: Update.
 +      Report from Petteri Räty.

 +
 +      Clarify regex code in depcomp.
 +      * lib/depcomp: Add comment why we don't need regex-escaping here.
 +      Suggested by Stefano Lattarini.

 +
 +      Fix makedepend depmode for VPATH builds.
 +      * lib/depcomp [makedepend]: Remove any VPATH prefix from the
 +      object file name, so a rebuild doesn't attempt to update the
 +      .Po files in the source tree.
 +      * tests/depcomp9.test: New test.
 +      * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
 +      * NEWS: Update.

 +
 +      tests: fix timestamp-related failures
 +      Fixes automake bug#8365.
 +      * tests/aclocal6.test: Sleep before modifying m4 files that should
 +      trigger remake rules.  Remove incorrect/obsoleted comments.
 +      * tests/subdir5.test: Likewise, and extend a bit.
 +      * tests/subdir8.test: Likewise.
 +      * tests/pr8365-remake-timing.test: New xfailing test.
 +      * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
