Follow-up from thread: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-06/msg00016.html>
The aim of this patch series is to increase coverage in the "unit tests" for the Automake-provided tests scripts (i.e., in those tests that run said scripts directly, outside Automake-generated Makefiles, and check their outputs, exit statuses, error messages, postconditions, etc). Currently, such "unit tests" only use the default system shell `/bin/sh' to run the checked scripts; after the series is applied, they should be transparently extended (wrapped, in fact) to use *also* $SHELL to execute the checked script. I will push this series in 72 hours if there is no review by then. Regards, Stefano
