gnulib-tool didn't copy GNUmakefile into gltests/ so it never existed.
I guess either gnulib-tool needs to copy GNUmakefile into gltests/ too,
or the configure.ac snippet shouldn't be part of gltests/configure.ac.
I'd prefer the latter (I don't think GNUmakefile belongs in
non-top-level directories) but don't know how to achieve it.

Of course, it _could_ be an automake bug too. ;)
