OK, then the problem is that gnulib-tool does not know that 'valgrind-tests'
is special. Fixed like this.

We could have noticed the problem before, by looking at the gnulib-tool
results in liboath/ and libpskc/ of oath-toolkit.

        gnulib-tool.py: Don't treat 'valgrind-tests' as a tests module.
