That's a little better, but not much. In principle, all environment we depend on should have a good reason we do. We get sporadic bug reports in autotools about all kinds of variables that we inherit and use, e.g., $U. All such variables need to be documented, and, as much as possible, sanitized. I simply don't understand why you need $me adjustable, and the name does not imply that Automake's uses it, or what it would use it for. am_test_name is better, but doesn't explain either why it would be needed in the first place.
