tests: fix spurious failure in 'primary-prefix-valid-couples.test'
* tests/primary-prefix-valid-couples.test: After commit v1.11-464-gc9dfc36, `java_JAVA' is not a valid prefix/primary
combination by default anymore: one has to explicitly define
$(javadir) to make it so. So just drop `java_JAVA' from our
Makefile.am Also, since we are at it, ...

really required.
* doc/automake.texi (Java): Deprecate the JAVA primary, stating
that it will become obsolete in automake 1.12 and probably removed
altogether in automake 1.13. Reflect this in the section title,
by appending the string "(deprecated feature)".
(@menu, @detailmenu): Update.
(Java Support with gcj): The cross-referenced support for bytecode
compilation with the JAVA primary is rudimentary and deprecated.
State that explicitly.
docs: clearer distinction between `.java' with javac and with gcj
* doc/automake.texi (Java support): Rename this node ...
(Java support with gcj): ... to this, and change its title from
"Compiling Java sources" to "Compiling Java sources using gcj".

is not yet active, for the benefit of shell that return a non-zero
status when unsetting an already-unset variable.
Some shells seems to just ignore SIGQUIT under some circumstances,
even when it is not blocked; however, if the signal it trapped,
the trap gets correctly executed.
* tests/defs [$sh_errexit_works = yes]: Also trap SIGQUIT. Add
extensive explanation of why we do so.
* tests/self-check-cleanup.tap: Improve and fix to ensure that an
earlier failure does not prevent the rest of the test to execute.
Problem revealed by a failure in `self-check-cleanup.tap'.
test defs: work around weird ksh behaviour w.r.t. signal handling
* tests/defs (is_blocked_signal): Use perl to determine whether a
signal is trapped, since trying to do it portably within the shell
means opening a nasty can of worms.

tests: more granularity in variables for tools overriding
Among the other things, this change makes it possible to use, at
the same time, an autoconf version in the automake testsuite and
another one in the automake build system; even more importantly, it
makes it possible to use, say, a non-GNU make implementation in the
test scripts, while at the same time using GNU make to drive the
execution of the automake's test suite.
* tests/defs-static.in (TEX, EGREP, FGREP, SHELL, PERL, MAKE,
AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOUPDATE,
original_AUTOMAKE, original_ACLOCAL): Allow and prefer overriding
through corresponding `AM_TESTSUITE_..' variables; for example,
$GREP can now be overridden by an exported `$AM_TESTSUITE_GREP'
* NEWS: Update.
* tests/defs-static.in ($am_running_installcheck): New variable.
Initialize it to a default of "no", and sanity-check its value.
($am_datadir, $am_docdir, $am_automake_acdir, $am_system_acdir,
$am_bindir, $am_scriptdir, $am_pkgvdir): New variables,
initialized from AC_SUBST'ed values which are adaptively chosen
depending on whether the testsuite is running in "simple" mode
or in "installcheck" mode.
($MISSING): Remove, it's not really required by the testsuite.
($PATH): Update using `$am_bindir', not `$testbuilddir'.
* Makefile.am (installcheck-local): New target.

(AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, AM_PL_LOG_FLAGS): Adaptively choose the
`-I' flags for perl based on whether the tests are being run by
"make check" or "make installcheck".
* tests/Makefile.am (installcheck-local): New target.
(defs-static): Generate it at make time, not at configure time,
in order to correctly resolve all the indirections in the
AC_SUBST'd variables; done with the help of ...
(do_subst): ... this new macro.
(EXTRA_DIST): Explicitly distribute `defs-static.in'.
(CLEANFILES): Remove `defs-static'.

creative quoting in the generated tests, to avoid triggering
failures in the `sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintcheck.
* Makefile.am (sc_tests_tap_plan): It's OK for auto-generated
TAP tests that sources an hand-written one not to declare a TAP
plan: the sourced test will do so.
* tests/Makefile.am (checked_test_extensions): Don't define
anymore, the default value `$(TEST_EXTENSIONS)' is correct now.
(expected_list_of_tests): Don't define anymore, the default
value `$(TESTS)' is correct now.
Before this change, using the `--acdir' option caused aclocal to
redefine both the directory of automake-provided m4 macros and the
directory of third-party system-wide m4 macros. With this change,
we deprecate the `--acdir' aclocal option, and introduce two new
options `--automake-acdir' and `--system-acdir', to allow for more
granularity.
* aclocal.in (@automake_includes, @system_includes,
@user_includes): Fix and extend comments.
(usage): Update.
(handle_acdir_option): New function.
(parse_arguments): Recognize new options `--system-acdir' and
`automake-acdir', and handle `--acdir' using the new function
above. Simplify logic by assuming that the directory of
third-party system-wide m4 files always exists.
* tests/aclocal.in: Update to use the new options, instead of
the deprecated. `--acdir'.
* m4/dirlist: Move ...
* m4/acdir/dirlist: ... here.
* m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Update.
(m4datadir): Rename ...
(automake_acdir): ... to this. Accordingly, ...
(dist_m4data_DATA): ... rename this ...
(dist_automake_ac_DATA): ... to this.
(system_acdir): New, directory.
(dist_system_ac_DATA): New, defined to an empty value; this will
ensure that the $(system_acdir) directory will be created by
"make install".
* tests/aclocal.test: Remove check about the `--print-ac-dir'
option of aclocal, it has been moved into ...
* tests/aclocal-print-acdir.test: ... this new test, and quite
extended.
* tests/aclocal-acdir.test: New test.

* tests/.gitignore (tests-deps.am): Don't ignore this ...
(testsuite-part.am): ... ignore this instead.
testsuite: revamp generation of autogenerated tests
With this change, we make generated tests be real scripts again
-- albeit only thin layers around the tests they wrap. It turned
out that the apparently clever tricks we played by having lots
of custom (and auto-generated) `..._LOG_COMPILER' variables and
by having the tests in $(wrap_TESTS) not being real on-file-system
scripts caused more pain and confusion than expected, for only
marginal gains. Also, that previous setup didn't interact very
well with "make check RECHECK_LOGS=", since the log files for
the "wrappee" tests were always considered out-of-date (which in
hindsight is natural, since these log files depended on wrappee
tests that didn't exist -- and weren't created). And finally, it
wasn't possible to easily and naturally run the wrappee tests
from the command line -- definitely harmful for debugging and
sanity checking.
* tests/gen-wrap-tests: Deleted, its role subsumed into ...
* tests/gen-tests-deps: ... this script, with the help of
(unindent, atomic_write, build_matcher, write_wrapper_script,
%test_generators): ... these new functions and variables.
Other few minor fixlets and improvements.
* tests/wrap-tests.sh: Delete, not needed anymore.
* tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/wrap-tests.am): Don't generate
nor include anymore.
(EXTRA_DIST): Update.
(wrap_TESTS): Renamed to ...
(generated_TESTS): ... this.
($(generated_TESTS)): Must have the same dependencies of
`$(srcdir)/tests-deps.am'.
Other minor related reordering and adjustments.
* bootstrap: Do not generate `wrap-tests.am' anymore.
* tests/.gitignore (wrap-tests.am): Don't ignore anymore.
(*-w.test, *-w.tap): Ignore.
* tests/README: Update paragraph on automatically-generated
tests.

dependencies for the tests.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute it.
($(srcdir)/tests-deps.am): New rule.
(include $(srcdir)/tests-deps.am): New inclusion.
Remove hand-written dependencies for tests. Other related
updates.
* tests/list-of-tests (tap_with_common_setup_TESTS,
tap_other_TESTS): Delete, their content merged back into ...
(handwritten_TESTS): ... this.
* tests/.gitignore (tests-deps.am): New ignored file.
* bootstrap: Generate `tests/tests-deps.am'.
* lib/tap-driver.pl (trap_perl_warnings_and_errors): Do not use
the three-args version of the `open' builtin, it is not well
supported by older perl versions (at least perl 5.6.2).
(start): Add a no-op statement to pacify a "possible typo ... used
only once" perl warning.
tap/perl: be more portable to older TAP::Parser versions
* lib/tap-driver.pl (start): Do not call the `ignore_exit' method
on our TAP parser: it is not supported in older TAP::Parser
versions (e.g., 3.10), and is not really required by our usage of
the parser object.
tests: fix spurious Cygwin failure of a test on TAP support
* tests/tap-bad-prog.tap (noexec.test): Add forgotten `echo'.
When trying to run it, redirect its output to /dev/null, to
avoid confusing automake's testsuite own TAP driver.
tests: fix another spurious failure due to ignored signals
* tests/tap-signal.test: Renamed ...
* tests/tap-signal.tap: ... to this, converted to the use of the
TAP protocol, and improved not to try to use/trap signals that
are ignored by the parent shell (they will be forcibly ignored
by all the child processes too). Extend the test a bit since we
are at it.
* tests/list-of-tests.mk: Update.
tests: fix a spurious failure due to lacking Fortran compilers
* tests/silent-many-generic.test (configure.in): Cause the test
to be skipped if `configure' fails to find working C++, Fortran
and Fortran 77 compilers.
* tests/self-check-reexec.test: Renamed ...
* tests/self-check-reexec.tap: ... to this, converted to the

* tests/list-of-tests.mk: Update.
self tests: fix spurious failures when /bin/ksh do not exists
* tests/self-check-reexec.test: Ensure that the non-bash shells
we look do really exists. Since we are at it, also try the name
`ash', non `dash', for the Almquist Shell, for Cygwin 1.5.
