    tests: add testcases sanity-checking the testsuite

Helper subroutines, variables and other pieces of code defined
in the `tests/defs' and used by many testcases are non-obvious,
and tricky to get to work portably; but until now, they weren't
tested at all in a clear and self-contained way.
This change should remedy to the situation.

* tests/self-check-cleanup.test: New test, check removal of
temporary test working directory by `./defs'.
* tests/self-check-dir.test: New test, check that tests using
`./defs' create a proper temporary directory, and run in it.
* tests/self-check-exit.test: New test, check that, in case of
failing commands, the correct exit status is passed to the exit
trap installed by the `./defs' script.
* tests/self-check-is_newest.test: New test, checking the
`is_newest' subroutine.
* tests/self-check-me.test: New test, checking that $me gets
defined automatically by `tests/defs' if not set, and that it
can be overridden from either the shell or the environment.
* tests/self-check-sanity.test: New test, check that the sanity
checks performed by the `tests/defs' script works correctly.
* tests/self-check-unindent.test: New test, checking the
`unindent' subroutine.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

  • This is Automake, a Makefile generator.  It was inspired by the 4.4BSD
make and include files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the
GNU Coding Standards for Makefile variables and targets.

Automake is a Perl script.  The input files are called Makefile.am.
The output files are called Makefile.in; they are intended for use
with Autoconf.  Automake requires certain things to be done in your
configure.ac.

Variable assignment lines in Makefile.am pull in defaults from various
little *.am files.

To use Automake, replace your Makefile.in files with Makefile.am
files.  Read the documentation to see what to do.

This package also includes the "aclocal" program.  aclocal is a
program to generate an `aclocal.m4' based on the contents of
`configure.ac'.  It is useful as an extensible, maintainable mechanism
for augmenting autoconf.  It is intended that other package authors
will write m4 macros which can be automatically used by aclocal.

Automake has a test suite.  Use

	make check

to run it.  Capture its output in case of failing tests.  For more
information, please see the file tests/README.

Automake has a page on the web.  See:

	http://sources.redhat.com/automake/

The mailing list automake@gnu.org is for discussion of Automake and
its interactions with other configuration/portability tools like
Autoconf or Libtool.  Write to automake-request@gnu.org if you want to
join.

Mail suggestions and bug reports to bug-automake@gnu.org, patches
to automake-patches@gnu.org.

New releases are announced to autotools-announce@gnu.org.  Write to
autotools-announce-request@gnu.org if you want to receive them.
