Autotest is built on top of m4sugar, which is a macro preprocessor, so it
sounds like you would just write a macro that takes one parameter (the
test you are running) and expands into the text that tests everything
using the parameter in place of the program name. Autoconf's own
tests/local.at shows a good example of writing macros that make it easier
to factor out the repetitive parts of tests into higher-level macros
conditionalized on the one part of the family of tests that differs
between tests. Or consider tests/autotest.m4, where the macro AT_CHECK_AT
expands into the entire AT_SETUP/AT_DATA/AT_CHECK/AT_CLEANUP sequence.
