Maybe I'm too much of a newbie to automake too, but I don't think so. I just
read the manual and it looks like you are doing the right thing.

Looking at the Makefile generated, it seems like the check-DEJAGNU target will
cope with $(DEJAGNU) containing multiple tools, but the site.exp target does
not. I wonder if this is a bug in lib/am/dejagnu.am from the automake sources.

How is the tool variable from site.exp used in DejaGNU? Does the --tool switch
to DejaGNU override the setting of tool in site.exp? If --tool sets tool, then
why do we set in site.exp?

I may download DejaGNU later and check it out.
