+ tests: avoid a spurious failure of 'ltinit.test' MinGW
+ * tests/ltinit.test: Be laxer in grepping configure output, to
+ avoid spurious failures on systems which lack POSIX dynamic
+ linking (e.g., MinGW), or when cross-compiling for such systems.
+ See also commit `v1.11-855-ge9e5d4a'.
+ Report and suggestion from Peter Rosin.

+ 2011-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: testsuite is now safe to run with dmake in parallel mode
+ * tests/defs.in: Unset variables DMAKE_CHILD, DMAKE_DEF_PRINTED
+ and DMAKE_MAX_JOBS, which are exported by Solaris dmake when run
+ in parallel mode, and which might confuse make processes spawned
+ by our testsuite.
+
+ 2011-11-08 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: fix spurious failures w.r.t. parallel make and colorization
+ * tests/color2.test: Skip the test if the $MAKE program fails to
+ consider the standard output as a tty when spawned by `expect'.
+ This is required for make implementations, like FreeBSD make and
+ Solaris dmake, that redirect the output of recipes to temporary
+ files or pipes when run in parallel mode. Since we are at it,
+ simplify the detection of a working `expect' program, and throw
+ in other minor simplifications.

+
+ tests: fix spurious failure in 'distcheck-override-infodir.test'
+ * tests/distcheck-override-infodir.test ($required): Add
+ 'install-info'.
+
+ 2011-11-07 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: avoid another failure of 'uninstall-fail.test' on Solaris
+ * tests/uninstall-fail.test: On Solaris 10, if `/bin/rm' is run
+ with the `-f' option, it doesn't print any error message when
+ failing to remove a file (due to e.g., "Permission denied").
+ Yikes. Cater to this incompatibility, by relaxing the test when
+ a faulty `rm' is detected.

+
+ ar-lib: fix configure output for "unrecognized archiver interface"
+ * m4/ar-lib.m4: Ensure that, even when an error is hit while trying
+ to determine the archiver interface kind, the "checking archiver
+ interface" message from configure is properly terminated before
+ an error message is printed, to avoid slightly garbled output.
+ * tests/ar4.test: Enhance.

+ Merge branch 'msvc' into master

+
+2011-11-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ warnings: fix buglets for portability warnings
+ * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm (switch_warning): Ensure the
+ correct implications and inter-dependencies between warnings
+ in the categories `portability', `extra-portability' and
+ `recursive-portability' are respected. Also add detailed
+ explicative comments, and references to the relevant tests.
+ * tests/dollarvar2.test: Update and extend. Also, remove
+ some unnecessary uses of `--force' option in automake calls.
+ * tests/extra-portability3.test: New test.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
+
+2011-11-04 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ tests: extend tests on 'extra-portability' warning category
+ * tests/extra-portability.test: Redefine `$AUTOMAKE' to ensure we
+ have complete control over the automake options. Extend by using
+ also a setup where no `portability' warning is present (only an
+ `extra-portability' warning is). Other minor extensions. Remove
+ some redundant, verbose comments about the expected diagnostic.
