Fix conflnk3.test to work with Solaris/Heirloom Sh.
* tests/conflnk3.test: Use `test -r FILE' and `test ! -r FILE'
instead of respectively `test -e FILE' and `test ! -e FILE',
since Solaris Sh doesn't grok the latter. Do not SKIP the test
if the shell doesn't support `test -e'.
* tests/badopt.test: Add call to `set -e'. Due to this change,
an unexpected failure in the call to `$ACLOCAL' (whose outcome
was previously unchecked) would cause the whole test to fail.
Also, bumped the copyright years.
Use `set -e' in confsub.test (avoid false negatives).
* tests/confsub.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and related
changes (this helps avoiding some possible minor false negatives).
Also, bumped copyright years.
Fix -Werror handling for presence of configure.in and configure.ac.
* lib/Automake/Variable.pm (Automake::Variable): Do not initialize
$configure_ac at the global level, before command-line arguments
have been parsed.

* tests/configure.test: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Update.

* tests/confh5.test: Enable shell `errexit' flag, and bumped

in calls to $ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF or $AUTOHEADER, or
a failure in grepping expected text in output files should now
cause the whole test to fail.
* tests/color.test: Tests using the expect program moved out to...
* tests/color2.test: ... this new file.

Makefile.am would carry over to other Makefile.am files

symlink targets). Instead, use the cleanup strategy used in
