[PATCH] Adjust the documentation of autotest WRT atlocal. |

* doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): It is not necessary,
when using Automake, to write a rule to produce atlocal, since it's
an AC_CONFIG_FILES. Mention that atlocal.in needs to be
distributed, not atconfig.in.

This is a revised patch, taking into account Ralf's wise comments.
For me `strict Autoconf' was not clear at all, so I changed the wording
a bit to something that (seems) more understandable.

With all this in place, and if you have not initialized @samp{TESTSUITEFLAGS}
within your makefile, you can fine-tune test suite execution with this
