  You don't need an autoconf/automake setup. It's just that those development
tools are commonly used for GNU projects.

  You need the interactive part of expect to login to the remote machine,
run the test case, and properly capture the output. If your needs are
simple, you might be able to get away with just using ssh or rsh to
run the remote test cases.

  This is a standard remote unix style testing. For the best example, look
at the GCC tests suite. There is no tutorial on doing remote testing, 
although it's on the TODO list.
