[Akim Demaille]

Wow, I'm moved...  It works!!!

Thanks to M4, Autotest made very significant progress!  As did my
understanding of some issues in test suites.

I'm very tempted to release Autotest now (well, understand
`beta-release Autoconf'), but there remains one ugly thing: you have
to tell autom4te where are the library files, because up to now it has
no index of them.

AFAICS, this is the one and only remaining task.

from  Akim Demaille  <address@hidden>

        * tests/Makefile.am (installcheck-local): Don't use
        `dc_install_base' which is not visible here, but `exec_prefix'
        which is clearly the RT anyway.
        * tests/testsuite.at (AT_CHECK_M4): Don't pass -M here since it is
        related to testing a now installed m4.
        * tests/m4: Do it here.
