+ tests: one more fixlet for gettext macros requirement
+ * tests/gettext-macros.test (configure.in): Add calls to
+ AC_INIT and AC_PROG_CC, to avoid a spurious failure in the
+ later aclocal invocation.
+ Luckily, this wart wasn't causing any spurious SKIP or FAIL,
+ but only the redundant addition to the `-Wno-syntax' option
+ to some aclocal invocations in the gettext tests.

+
+ tests: fix handling of gettext macros requirement
+
+ The code introduced in the earlier change `v1.11-581-gb7d67d5'
+ and aimed at automatically fetching all the .m4 files provided by
+ gettext has proven inadequate, since it hasn't managed to truly
+ and always get *all* the required .m4 files. For example, it has
+ failed to fetch the file `intldir.m4' (present in gettext 0.18.1,
+ and where the macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT_INTL_SUBDIR' is defined),
+ which in turn has caused spurious SKIPs of at least the test
+ `gettext3.test'.
+
+ The reason for this debacle is that autopoint looks at the version
+ specified in AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION to decide which version of the
+ gettext infrastructure to bring in; since we were unconditionally
+ specifying the older 0.10.35 version, the newer `.m4' files weren't
+ brought in.
+
+ * tests/gettext-macros.test: In AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION, instead
+ of unconditionally specifying the older 0.10.35 version, specify
+ the version of the available `gettextize' or `autopoint' program,
+ dynamically extracted with the help of ...
+ (extract_program_version):... this new function, and saved ...
+ ($autopoint_version): ... in this new variable.

+
+ tests: automatically handle deps also for generated tests
+ * tests/gen-testsuite-part: The test scripts are now scanned for
+ automatic dependency generation *after* the auto-generated tests
+ have been created, so they too will be scanned. It is a little
+ tricky to ensure that the freshly-generated tests are correctly
+ scanned, and we do that with the help of ...
+ (@generated_tests): ... this new variable.
+ Other related minor changes and refactorings.

+ tests: auto-generate deps for tests requiring libtool/gettext
+ * tests/gen-testsuite-part: Tests requiring libtool (or related
+ programs) will need libtool-provided m4 macros, so they should
+ be run after `libtool-macros.test'. Similarly for gettext tests.
+ So, generate proper declarations of such dependencies.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Remove now-unneeded hand-written declaration
+ of those dependencies.

+ tests: remove FIXME comments from tricks to pacify syntax checks
+ Originally, I myself had insisted on adding those "FIXME" comments
+ near every unusual construct or use of "creative quoting" whose
+ only purpose was to avoid false positive from out syntax checks.
+ I did that with the expectation that we could have easily and soon
+ added a whitelisting capability to our maintainer-specific syntax
+ checks. This hasn't been the case unfortunately, and now those
+ "FIXME" in the comments are just distracting noise, making it more
+ difficult to grep the test cases for stuff that could really use a
+ fix or an improvement. So just get rid of them.
+ * tests/instdir-ltlib.test: Remove that extra "FIXME".

+ * tests/java-compile-run-mested.test: Prefer AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT

+ * tests/java-compile-run-flat.test: Correct a botched "FIXME"
+ comment.
+ * tests/tap-realtime.test: Remove extra whitespace in comments.
+ * tests/missing-tar.test: Use `get_shell_script' to bring in the
+ `missing' script, to increase coverage. Remove redundant call to
+ `set -e'. Fix a typo in comments.
+ * tests/get-sysconf.test: Remove redundant definitions of
+ `$top_testsrcdir', `testbuilddir' and `$top_testbuilddir'.
