Great.  While we're at the testsuite: the current HEAD new testsuite
does not source atconfig (at least in the VPATH case), so
$abs_top_builddir is not set, so $LIBTOOLIZE is bogus.  Do we need to
have the complicated setup where the Makefile generation rules for
`testsuite' are in the toplevel, but the testsuite dir is `tests'?
Also the results of $LIBTOOLIZE and autoreconf and configure in
AT_BOOTSTRAP are not checked (on purpose?).
