In Gnulib, Emacs, etc. we are changing ftp: and http: URLs to use

Automake. This patch does not affect files that Automake is

Althouth the resources are not secret, plain HTTP is vulnerable to
malicious routers that tamper with responses from GNU servers,

HTTPS is not a complete solution here, but it can be a significant
help. The GNU project regularly serves up code to users, so we should
take some care here.

tests: remove exec bit from all of them ('micro' branch)
It gives the impression that they are directly runnable, as with
"./t/foo.sh", but it has been a while since that was the case. Today,
tests are runnable only through "make check" or "./runtest".
This change is for the 'micro' branch (automake 1.13.2a). It will
soon be followed by similar patches for the 'maint' branch (automake
1.13a) and the 'master' branch (automake 1.99a).
* t/*.sh, t/*.tap: Remove executable bit.

* gen-testsuite-part: Set permissions of generated tests to

compat: reinstate AM_CONFIG_HEADER and AM_PROG_CC_STDC
Make them give runtime warnings in the obsolete category, but apart
from that, make them behave as they did in Automake 1.12.x and earlier.
While removing those macros seemed quite harmless, because it didn't put
a real burden on the developers (requiring them just to do a quick edit
to configure.ac), it turned out to place an unsustainable burden (or at
least, a burden perceived as such) on distro packagers who use the latest
Automake to bootstrap existing packages. Many of those packages, while
having likely updated to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in their development version,
still used AM_CONFIG_HEADER in their existing released versions, and the
removal of this macro would have thus forced the Fedora packagers to
patch all of them. References:
<http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/msg52840.html>
<http://www.spinics.net/lists/fedora-devel/msg175922.html>
<http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2013/01/autotools-mythbuster-automake-pains>
In addition, the Fedora packagers have already decided to patch their
Automake 1.13.1 to reinstate the AM_CONFIG_HEADER and AM_PROG_CC_STDC
macros (plus other macros that I don't believe it's worth worrying about):
<http://www.spinics.net/lists/fedora-devel/msg176098.html>

<http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?id=ffe6bc39>
So, rather than having one more incompatibility floating around, we
better mirror that change (or, actually, its relevant parts) in the
upstream.
* m4/obsolete-err.m4 (AM_CONFIG_HEADER, AM_PROG_CC_STDC): Revert to the
older semantics, plus a runtime warning in the 'obsolete' category.

This is a follow-up to today's commit v1.12.4-22-g0610fc8,
"tests: prepare to move ./defs to t/ax/test-init.sh"
* All tests: To run the common setup, use the command:

instead of the older, "historical" one:

Note that the "|| exit 1" wasn't really useful, since the 'errexit'
shell flag is in effect in both './defs' and 'test-init.sh', and all
the known shells that are good enough to run the automake testsuite
do automatically exit with error when a sourced file cannot be found
(at least, they do so in non-interactive mode, which is the only
mode that concerns us in the testsuite).

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: allow obsolescent two-args invocation once again
This partially reverts commit 'v1.12-67-ge186355' of 2012-05-25,
"init: obsolete usages of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE not supported anymore"
Some users still need to be able to define the version number for
their package dynamically, at configure runtime.
Their user case is that, for development snapshots, they want to be
able to base the complete version of the package on the VCS revision
ID (mostly Git or Mercurial). They could of course do so by
specifying such version dynamically in their call to AC_INIT, as is
done by several GNU packages. But then they would need to regenerate
and re-run the configure script before each snapshot, which might be
very time-consuming for complex packages, to the point of slowing
down and even somewhat impeding development.
The situation should truly be solved in Autoconf, by allowing a way
to specify the version dynamically in a way that doesn't force the
configure script to be regenerated and re-run every time the package
version changes. But until Autoconf has been improved to allow
this, Automake will have to support the obsolescent two-arguments
invocation for AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, to avoid regressing the suboptimal
but working solution for the use case described above.
See also:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-08/msg00025.html>

tests: prefer "test ! -e FILE" to check that a file doesn't exist
Once, for the sake of (at least) Solaris 10 /bin/sh, we had to use
"test ! -f FILE" or "test ! -r FILE" or "test ! -d FILE" instead,
because the that shell's 'test' built-in didn't grok the '-e' option.
Note however that we still can't use "test ! -e" in the Makefile recipes
used in the test cases; that is because those recipes are run with the
shell detected by 'configure', and Autoconf-generated configure scripts
do no guarantee to find or provide a POSIX-compatible shell.
* Several tests: Adjust.
* t/yacc-clean-cxx: Adjust, and remove a couple of useless commands.
* t/parallel-tests-dry-run-2.sh: Adjust, and add invocation to
"make -n" forgotten in previous versions of the test.
* t/txinfo26.sh: Adjust, and don't bother to skip the test when it's
run in a directory whose absolute path contain whitespace: that setup
is not supported anyway.
* t/maken3.sh: Adjust, and fix a typo that could cause a minor false
negative.
* t/test-trs-recover2.sh: Prefer using 'skip_' with a suitable error
message over a bare 'exit 77'.

tests: simpler workaround for shells losing the exit status in exit trap
Now that we can assume our tests are run by a decent POSIX shell, we
can simplify our workaround aimed at having the exit status propagated
correctly to the code in the exit trap. Unfortunately, we cannot
dispense with such a workaround altogether, because it's still required
by some shells we need to support (at least Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh).
For more information about the need of that workaround, see the entry
about 'trap' in the section "Limitations of Shell Builtins" in the
Autoconf manual:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#trap>
The new workaround has been tested successfully with the following
shells:
- Bash 4.1
- Bash 3.2
- Bash 3.0
- Bash 2.05b
- dash 0.5.5.1
- dash 0.5.2
- AT&T Ksh 93u (from official Debian package)
- MirBSD Korn Shell 40.2 (from official Debian package)
- Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /bin/ksh
- Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
- NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh
- NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh
* t/ax/test-init.sh (Exit): Rename ...
(_am_exit): ... like this.
(exit): New alias for '_am_exit'. We cannot simply redefine 'exit'
as a shell function, because some shells (dash 0.5.5.1, Solaris 10
/bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh) do not allow it.
(_am_exit, trap): Add extra escaping for 'exit' calls, to ensure we
really invoke the 'exit' builtin and not our alias with the same
name.
* configure.ac: Check that the shell selected to run our testsuite
supports aliases named like shell builtins.
* t/REAMDE: Adjust.
* All tests: Adjust, by simply using 'exit' instead of 'Exit'.
* t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Adjust: the first usage of 'exit'
after it has been redefined as an alias must be on a new line w.r.t.
that where the alias is defined, in order for the redefinition to be
honored.
* syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Delete.
(sc_tests_exit_not_Exit): New.
(syntax_check_rules): Adjust.
(sc_tests_automake_fails): Simplify the recipe a little.
* Several tests: Remove now useless spurious quoting once required
to placate the 'sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer check.
* gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. Also, avoid uses of 'Exit' in the
generated scripts.

tests: rename 'tests/' => 't/', '*.test' => '*.sh'
When we (soon) convert the Automake testsuite to a non-recursive
make setup, we'll have to fix the entries of $(TESTS) to be
prepended with the subdirectory they are in; this will increase
the length of $(TESTS), and thus increase the possibility of
exceeding the command-line length limits on some systems (most
notably, MinGW/MSYS). See automake bug#7868 for more information.
Thus we rename the 'tests/' subdirectory to 't/', and each 'x.test'
script in there to 'x.sh'; this way, the $(TESTS) entry 'foo.test'
will become 't/foo.sh', which have the same number of characters.
