Surely no more than I am, so I'll follow your lead.  I just have a couple of 
nits below.

Here, I'd report the bug number and the name of the affected system as well; 
something
like this:

        tests: fix spurious failure on systems lacking unistd.h
        This is for automake bug#10324.
        * tests/silent-lex-generic.test (foo.l): Add a dummy #define of 
YY_NO_UNISTD_H,
        so that the generated foo.c file won't require unistd.h to be present 
(it is
        not when compiling with, e.g., MSVC 9).

ACK with this addressed, if you can confirm your change fixes the spurious 
failure
(but I bet you've already checked that ;-)

Micro-nit: maybe define this to '1' for clarity & safeness?  (This is not a
requirement for an ACK though, just a matter of preference).
