+ Extend and improve tests on DejaGnu support.

+ * tests/dejagnu2.test: Make test more reliable, by avoid weak
+ grepping of make output. Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append
+ to configure.in. Quote literal dots in grep regexps. Prefer
+ `grep -c ...' over `grep ... | wc -l'. Make grepping of
+ automake stderr slightly stricter. Add trailing `:' command.
+ * tests/dejagnu3.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to

+ Remove extra blank lines from Makefile.am.
+ * tests/dejagnu4.test: Prefer `cat' over `echo' to append to

+
+ tests: avoid spurious failure in 'parallel-tests3.test'
+ This fixes automake bug#8788.
+ * tests/parallel-tests3.test: To ensure that the serial run of
+ the dummy testsuite is still ongoing when the parallel run has
+ terminated, use `kill -0', not a bare `kill'. This will prevent
+ a testsuite crash on NetBSD 5.1, and a testsuite hang on FreeBSD

+ * tests/aclocal-path-precedence.test: Rewrite configure.in,

+ parallel-tests: warn on conditional TEST_EXTENSIONS definition
+ Before this change, automake would have still bailed out, but

+
+ parallel-tests: don't allow @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS
+ Even after the last commit `v1.11-476-g90bea64', the checks
+ performed by automake on entries in $(TEST_EXTENSIONS) tried to
+ allow for @substitited@ stuff. This however ends up allowing
+ quite brittle setups, which, most importantly, are of no real
+ practical usefulness anyway. So it's better to just disallow
+ @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS altogether, offering a clear
+ error message, instead of risking weird bugs and unexpected
+ behaviors in the generated Makefile.in.
+ * automake.in ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): Turned from a regular
+ expression ...
+ (is_valid_test_extension): ... into this subroutine. Don't allow
+ generic @substitutions@ anymore (possibly making an exception for
+ `@EXEEXT@' under the proper circumstances).
+ * tests/test-extensions.test: Adjust and extend.

+ 2011-10-06 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: fix spurious failure in 'insthook.test'
+ * tests/insthook.test (Makefile.am): Add a proper `uninstall-hook'
