+ remake: behave better with non-GNU make in subdirectories
+ Currently, with every decent make program, it is possible to
+ rebuild out-of-date autotools-generated files with a simple
+ "make Makefile" -- but for this to work reliably with non-GNU
+ make implementations, the command must be issued from the
+ top-level directory. This patch removes such limitation.
+ * lib/am/configure.am (am--refresh): Depend on `%MAKEFILE%'.
+ * tests/remake-subdir.test: New test.
+ * tests/remake-subdir2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/remake-subdir-gnu.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/remake-subdir-from-subdir.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

+ lex tests: fix spurious failures with Solaris lex
+ * tests/lex-lib.test (foo.l): Avoid empty "rules section", which
+ can confuse Solaris lex.
+ * tests/lex-libobj.test (foo.l): Likewise.

+
+ lex tests: do not force the use of flex unconditionally
+ * tests/defs (lex): Act more similarly to what the `yacc'
+ requirement does, i.e., only force the use of flex if the
+ $LEX variable is left unset by the user.
+ (flex): Use `skip_' to skip the test if flex is not found.

+
+ lex tests: avoid possible hang; fix and extend
+ * tests/lex3.test (foo.l:yywrap): Return 1, not 0, to avoid hangs.
+ Bug introduced in commit 'v1.11-871-geb147a1'.
+ (Makefile.am): Do not add `@LEXLIB@' to `$(LDADD)', as we define
+ our own `yywrap' function.
+ * tests/lex.test (tscan.l): In `yywrap', return 1, not 0, for
+ consistency with the default flex implementation.
+ * tests/lex-libobj.test (yywrap.c): Likewise.
+ * tests/lex-subobj-nodep.test (s1.l): Likewise.
+ * tests/lexvpath.test (foo.c): Likewise.

+ * tests/lex-lib.test (mu.c): Likewise.
+ Update heading comments, to refer to ...
+ * tests/lex-lib-external.test: ... this new test, which checks
+ that we can get use the `yywrap' function from a system-wide
+ library, if that's available.

+
+ tests: prefer `skip_' over `echo ...; Exit 77'
+ * tests/self-check-cleanup.test: When the test must be skipped,
+ use `skip_ REASON' instead of `echo REASON; Exit 77'. Also,
+ make the skip message shorter and clearer.

+
+ tests: fix spurious failures in self tests
+ Our ad-hoc usage of `tests/defs' in the testsuite's self tests
+ stopped working properly when we made the test scripts re-execute
+ themselves with the configure-time $SHELL. Fix this.
+ Fixes a bug introduced by commit 'v1.11-874-g1321be7'.
+ * tests/defs: Only check that we can find the client test script
+ when we must re-execute it.
+ * tests/self-check-cleanup.test: Export `AM_TESTS_REEXEC' to "no"
+ before running the self tests.
+ * tests/self-check-dir.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/self-check-explicit-skips.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/self-check-me.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/self-check-sanity.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/self-check-reexec.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

+
+ tests: prefer ulimit over timeout in test on a memory-hogging bug
+ * tests/cond29.test: Use 'ulimit' instead of 'timeout' to ensure
+ that automake does not uses up too much resources. This is really
+ and improvement because the bug tested by this script wasn't just
+ a "it hangs" or "it runs too slow" bug, but rather a memory-hogging
+ bug (due to combinatorial explosion when many Automake conditionals
+ had to be handled) which could easily crash the whole system, which
+ is unacceptable. The requirement of a proper and working 'ulimit'
+ builtin might cause the test to be skipped on more systems, but
+ that shouldn't be a problem since the bug isn't about a portability
+ issue, but is rather an automake internal implementation problem.
+ I've verified that the test as updated by this patch still passes
+ with automake 1.8.5, automake 1.10.2, and obviously the development
+ version of automake, and that it fails with automake 1.7.9.

+
+ testsuite: avoid generating `*-p.test' tests, use a wrapper script
+ The generated `*-p.test' tests had already become just thin layers
+ around the corresponding test scripts. This change makes the final
+ step, converting to the use of a generic wrapper script and thus
+ avoiding the extra test generation (similarly to what is done for
+ the `*.instspc' and `*.depmod' tests).
+ * tests/parallel-tests.sh: New file, driver script to run checks
+ the on the `parallel-tests' semantics by wrapping tests that use
+ the generic "Simple Tests" driver.
+ * tests/gen-parallel-tests: Update, mostly to reflect the new
+ `.ptest' extensions used for tests in $(parallel_tests).
+ * Makefile.am (TESTS_EXTENSIONS): Add `.ptest'.
+ (PTEST_LOG_COMPILER): Define, it calls `parallel-tests.sh'.
+ ($(parallel_tests)): Do not really generate `*-p.test' tests
+ anymore; this is now just a dummy dependency declaration required
+ in order to have make actually produce expected log files from
+ the `.ptest.log' suffix rule.
+ (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `parallel-tests.sh'.
+ (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Don't remove the `$(parallel_tests)', it
+ is not necessary anymore.
+ (generated_tests): Variable definition removed.
+ (TESTS): Update, by listing `$(parallel_tests)' directly instead
+ of `$(generated_tests)'
+ (expected_list_of_tests): Remove `$(generated_tests)'.
+ (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): No need to explicitly depend on
+ `$(expected_list_of_tests)' anymore.
