This patch create a configuration variable PATH_MAX that
corresponds with the value in limits.h. The value of PATH_MAX,
if supplied, is added to BASIC_CFLAGS and will validate with
limits.h. PATH_MAX is also added to GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS and is
available in the git test suite.

This patch also creates a test_expected_success_cond, taking a
single function as first argument. In the t0001-init.sh case,
subtest 34 this function is test_path_max_is_sane, although any
0/1 returning function can be used. The prototype allows the long base
path test to be skipped if PATH_MAX is less than 2048 bytes.

OK, but...

... why would you want to skip this test? If I'm reading the test case correctly, it requires only a path length of 127 plus whatever your build directory is plus a score for the trash directory. That should pose a problem only if your system is even more crippled than Windows with its PATH_MAX of 260.

+test_path_max_is_sane() {
+       if test -z "$PATH_MAX"
+       then
+               retval=1
+       elif test $PATH_MAX -ge 2048
+       then
+               retval=1
+       else
+               retval=0
+       fi
+       return "$retval"
+}

This can probably be reduced to

test_path_max_is_sane () {
        test "${PATH_MAX:-4000}" -ge 2048
}

(Style note: we have a blank before the () pair in shell scripts.)
