tests init: better messages for 'yacc' and 'lex' requirements
* tests/defs.in: Give better diagnostic messages when a test must
be skipped to the unavailability of yacc or lex program. Also,
improve syncing between code for requiring yacc and lex.
configure: look for a lex program to be used by the testsuite
This will allow the testcases requiring a 'lex' program to run also
with vendor/legacy lex implementations, not only with 'flex'.
* configure.ac: Look for a lex program, using AC_CHECK_PROGS.
* tests/defs.in: New required entry 'lex'.

configure: look for a yacc program to be used by the testsuite
Instead of forcing the user to manually export 'YACC' in the
testsuite to use a non-bison yacc, we now look for a yacc program
at configure time, and use that as the default in the testsuite.
* configure.ac: Look for a yacc program, using AC_CHECK_PROGS.
* tests/defs.in: Updated to use the value of $YACC precomputed by
configure, unless the user overrides that in the environment.
tests: more coverage on yacc/lex silent-rules, plus minor cleanups
* tests/silent-yacc-gcc.test: Add sanity checks verifying that the
generated Makefile.in files really contains the non-generic rules
we expect. Do not redundantly manually remove files we know to be
already removed "make maintainer-clean".
(Makefile.am): Ensure we cover also non-generic yacc rules, by
setting target-specific YFLAGS.

* tests/silent-yacc-headers.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
tests: cover yacc target-specific flags, and `-v' flag handling
* tests/yacc-basic.test: Also try to build a parser having `-v'
as target-specific flags. Add a couple of `ls -l' commands, for
debugging. Update and extend comments. Escape literal dots in
grep regular expressions.
* doc/automake.texi (Yacc and Lex): Document that automake
recognizes '-d' in AM_YFLAGS only if it's not clustered with
other options.

yacc: "make clean" removes .c and .h files from non-distributed .y
Previously, while automake did *not* distribute C source and header
files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources, it still caused
them to be removed only by "make maintainer-clean" only, and not by
simply "make clean" or "make distclean".
This caused "make distcheck" to fail, unless the developer put
those generated .c and .h files in CLEANFILES or in DISTCLEANFILES
by hand.
This change fixes this issue, by making non-distributed `.c' and
`.h' files generated by non-distributed Yacc sources cleaned by
"make clean".
* tests/automake.in (lang_yacc_target_hook): Make C source and
header files derived from non-distributed Yacc files cleaned by
"make clean", not only by "make maintainer-clean".
* tests/yacc-clean.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
* NEWS: Update.

least commit Release-1-2-31-g3038064 "merged changes from
Cygnus" of 1997-08-25).
* tests/distlinksbrk.test: Run "make" multiple times and grep
its output each time for a single error message, rather than
running "make -k" one single time and grepping its output for
all the expected error messages. This should work around make
implementations with limited (broken?) `-k' support; for more
information, see these subthreads on the automake-patches list:

In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
tests that force gcc depmode.
