Makefile.in twice, but save its output in an intermediate file
instead. Make grepping of DIST_COMMON definition stricter.

trailing `:' command. Improved heading comments w.r.t. sister
test(s).

script in subroutine `extract_distcommon'.
* tests/distcom7.test: Prefer cat + here-doc over echo to write
test Makefile.am files. Add a trailing `:' command.
* tests/distname.test: Prefer `gzip -d' over `gunzip'. Move the
call to `set -e' earlier. Be stricter and more verbose in the
checking of the generated tarball.
(configure.in): Use the stub provided by ./defs, instead of
writing it from scratch. Avoid obsoleted constructs. Remove
useless call to `AM_PROG_CC_C_O'.
* tests/distdir.test: Various minor improvements/normalizations.
* tests/distlinks.test: Likewise.
* tests/cond5.test: Do not blindly sleep 60 seconds before polling
the background automake process, but poll it every 10 seconds for
at most 30 times (this makes the test both faster on good machines,
and more resilient to spurious timeout-due failures when in low
priority or on havily-loaded systems).
Check also that automake writes the expected error messages on the
standard error.
Enable `errexit' flag, and related changes.
Rely on the `configure.in' stub created by `./defs', rather than
writing one from scratch.
