[PATCH 4/3] parallel-tests: save few forks when possible

[Stefano Lattarini]

* lib/am/check.am (am__check_pre): Save some forks, by analyzing more
carefully the value of '$@' to decide how to extract its dirname part,
and whether that should be created as a directory.

 And this trivial optimization could be squashed in in this series as
 well.  I will push it together with the other patches (by tomorrow).

 Regards,
   Stefano
