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'.

AC_PROG_CC in configure.in, to help ensuring that automake does
not fail for the wrong reasons.

works with LT_INIT-based interface.

tests: add testcases sanity-checking the testsuite
Helper subroutines, variables and other pieces of code defined

tests: optimize `instspc-*.test' for speed
After the split of `instspc.test' into various generated tests,
the running time of the testsuite has noticeably increased, since
all these new generated tests must run aclocal, autoconf and
automake, whereas previously they were run only once (at the
beginning of `instspc.test'). But luckily, since the new tests
share the same input files for the autotools, this situation can
be easily worked around (at the expenses of a slight increase of
complexity for the testsuite scaffolding).
* tests/instspc-data.test: New helper test, properly calling
the `instspc-tests.sh' script to generate input data for the
others `instspc-*.test' tests.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add `instspc-data.test'.
($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Depend on its log file.
(instspc-data.log): Depend on `instspc-tests.sh'.
* tests/instspc-tests.sh: Recognize new action `generate-data',
and use it to create hand-written and autotools-generated static
files shared by all the `instspc-*.test' tests.
When sourced by the `instspc-*.test' tests, use those previously
created files instead of recreating them from scratch.
(unindent, create_input_data): New subroutines.
