+ Fix spurious failures of silent5.test with Sun Fortran.
+ * tests/silent5.test: Strip from the make output some verbose
+ messages possibly printed by the SunStudio fortran compilers,

+
+2010-11-16 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Fix regression in colon{5,6}.test (failures on AIX 5.3).
+ * tests/colon5.test: Also substitute `@SHELL@' with `$SHELL' when
+ post-processing the generated Makefile.in, to work around a bug
+ of AIX 5.3 make which doesn't allow setting the `$(SHELL)' macro
+ on the commend line. Calls to `$MAKE' adjusted accordingly.
+ * tests/colon6.test: Likewise.
+ Regression introduced in commit v1.11-175-gf9fe878 "Modernize,
+ improve and/or extend tests `colon*.test", and reported by Ralf
+ Wildenhues.

+
+ Fix regression in ansi.test (failure on AIX 5.3).
+ * tests/ansi.test: Remove redundant hackish check done using a
+ hand-postprocessed Makefile.in. This checs worked by setting
+ the `$(SHELL)' macro on the command line of make, but this is
+ not supported by the AIX 5.3 make implementation.
+ This bug has been lurking for a long time, and was activated by
+ commit v1.11-125-gc1f6cdb "Enable `errexit' shell flag in various
+ tests". Report by Ralf Wildenhues.
+
+2010-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ tests: avoid '##'-style comments inside recipe commands.
+ * tests/confh.test, tests/confh8.test: Remove

+ * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm (append): Since the content of the
+ "appended-to" variable is going to be unconditionally normalized
+ later, simply separate the appended value with a single whitespace
+ character, instead of trying to be uselesssly smarter by using
+ escaped newlines. This fixes a bug in which extra backslashes

+ These changes make some checks slighty stricter.
+ * tests/ext2.test: Call `Exit 1' if inclusion of `./defs' fails.
+ * tests/gettext2.test: Place final `:' at the end of the script,
+ rather than in the middle.
+ * tests/exeext.test: Call `set -e' just after the inclusion of
+ `./defs', instead that later in the script.
+ * tests/extra5.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/confdeps.test: Likewise. Also, prefer `mv -f' over
+ plain `mv', just to be sure.
+ * tests/depcomp.test: Enable `errexit' shell flag, with related
+ changes. Also, modernize the generated configure.in.
+ * tests/cond9.test: Likewise. Also, rely on the `configure.in'
+ stub created by `./defs', rather than writing one from scratch.
+ * tests/cond10.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/depcomp2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/depend3.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/distcom7.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/fortdep.test: Likewise. Also, remove definition of
+ AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS to `foreign' in the generated Makefile.am,
+ since that flag is already provided by $AUTOMAKE.
+ * tests/mdate.test: Made stricter, by checking that Automake
+ actually failed, and by making a stricter grep on the error
+ message. Also, set shell `errexit flag'.
+ * tests/python2.test: Improved verbose messages.
+
+ Make test `ammissing.test' stricter.
+ * tests/ammissing.test: Fail if $ACLOCAL succeds unexpectedly.
+ Enable `errexit' shell flag.
+

+ * tests/acsilent.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
+ command substitution.
+ * tests/unused.test: Likewise, and don't use an easily-avoided
+ command substitution.
+ * tests/version.test: Likewise, and avoid deprecated constructs
+ in the generated `configure.in'.

+
+ Prefer AUTOMAKE_fails over `$AUTOMAKE | grep' in tests.
+ * tests/ldadd.test: Enable errexit. Use AUTOMAKE_fails so
+ the verbose log contains all output.
+ * tests/mdate.test: Likewise.
+ Prompted by Stefano Lattarini's change to discover.test.
+
+2010-06-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ Improve tests link*.test (enable `errexit' shell flag).

+ * tests/link_f_only.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/link_fc.test: Likewise.

+
+2010-06-06 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
+
+ Improve ext.test semantics, avoid OpenBSD sh errexit issue.
+ * tests/ext.test: Inside shell compound command, use
+ `if $cmd; then Exit 1; fi' rather than `$cmd && Exit 1', to
+ fix failure with OpenBSD sh introduced with last patch.
+ Actually ensure that a rule for .EXT.o is created for each
+ known extension EXT.

+ * tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
+ non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
+ Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
+ removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
+ not trigger a different set of rules. Make grepping of make's
+ output stricter. Improved/added some comments.
