In the past I've had to make systematic changes to the automake test
suite. It sucks. I'd like this to be the last major test suite
rewrite. That means trying to modularize somehow.
Maybe rewriting the tests in some other language with better
functionality (eg Perl) would make this simpler.
Akim: I still haven't looked at autotest.
