This is broken.  The condition inside AT_XFAIL_IF is evaluated before
the test itself is run.  In this case, just remove those 2 lines,
please, as the test should succeed always now, no?

For the general case, can this please be fixed in Autotest or at least
be clearly documented in the Autoconf manual?

Thanks,
Ralf
