* tests/confh2.test, tests/confh3.test: Remove.
These are bad tests: they don't check the effects, but some

invocation syntax for config files and headers.

lang_c_rewrite): Use require_conf_file instead of
require_config_file to require depcomp or compile from
Makefile.am.  (This is a part of my patch of 2001-10-15 which got
mistakenly reverted.)

* tests/confh.test: Since 2001-10-20 Kevin Ryde, stamp-h is
