Just for completeness' sake, I installed the .tex files over top of my
system ones (make install-tex TEXMF=/usr/share/texmf) and I arranged for
the just-installed binaries to be in the front of the PATH, and now the
tests pass:

SKIP: bibtex.test
PASS: dvipdf.test
SKIP: latex2html.test
PASS: local.test
PASS: texi2dvi.test
======================
All 3 tests passed
(2 tests were not run)
======================

So I guess that was it.  It seems strange to me that the testsuite
requires finding the installed files first in PATH rather than using
them from the build tree, but maybe this is documented somewhere and I
just missed it.

Anyway, aside from the minor "make install" problem in po/ it looks like
everything is good to go here on Cygwin with the changes in the last
email.
