parallel-tests: allow custom driver scripts Allow suffix-based definition of custom "driver script" for the test scripts. These driver scripts will be responsible of launching the tests (or their corresponding $(LOG_COMPILER), if they have an associated one), interpreting and displaying the test results, and writing the `.log' files. This new API should allow easy and flexible use of different test protocols in the future; in particular, we plan to use it to implement TAP and SubUnit harnesses. Note that no new documentation is added by this change; that is be left for follow-up changes. * automake.in (handle_tests): Define default for $(LOG_DRIVER), and, for any registered test extension `<ext>', define defaults for $(<ext>_LOG_DRIVER). Substitute %DRIVER% using these new variables, instead of the old internal $(am__test_driver). When processing check2.am, also substitute %DRIVER_FLAGS%. Require auxiliary script `test-driver' only if no driver has been explicitly defined for the test script kinds. * am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log, ?GENERIC?%EXT%.log, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Pass the %DRIVER_FLAGS% to the %DRIVER% call. * tests/parallel-tests-no-extra-driver.test: New test. * tests/test-driver-custom.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-xfail-tests.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-fail.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am: Update. * NEWS: Update.
