+ Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
+ In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the

+
+ Tests defs: do not print message "Running test $0" anymore.
+ * tests/defs.in: Printing the message "=== Running test $0" at
+ the beginning of each tests made sense when Automake used the old
+ test-driver, which sent all the output directly to stdout/stderr.
+ Now that the parallel test-driver is used, which saves output of
+ each test in its corresponding log file, that old message is just

+
+ Tests defs: rename $curdir -> $testbuilddir
+ * tests/defs.in: Rename $curdir to $testbuildir, for clarity and
+ consistency with $testsrcdir and $top_testsrcdir.
+
+ Tests defs: prefer "$curdir" over "`pwd`".
+ * tests/defs.in: We already save the value of `pwd` in $curdir
+ early in the file, so there no need to recalculate it later, when
+ the current working directory is not changed.
+
+ Tests defs: use `$me' in more error messages.
+ * tests/defs.in: Also use `$me' in error messages referring to
+ missing `defs' or `defs.in', since that variable is now defined
+ before those checks.
+
+ Tests defs: do not use `Exit' where plain `exit' suffices.
+ * tests/defs.in: Use "exit 77" rather than "Exit 77" to skip the
+ test when required libtool/gettext macros are not found, since
+ such skips would take place before the exit trap is installed.
+
+ Tests defs: improve and extends comments.
+ * tests/defs.in: Improve and extends some comments, especially in
+ relation with the changes introduced by the previous reordering.
+
+ Tests defs: various reorderings.
+ * tests/defs.in: Reordered various snippets of code in a
+ clearer way.
