[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

As of today (2011-10-23) git libtool 'make check' now fails.

After doing '/home/bfriesen/src/gnu/libtool-head/configure; make ; 
make check' it seems that the script has a problem with finding the 
in-tree tests/testsuite.at (which does exist in the source tree). 
The problem appears to be a wrong include path provided to autom4te 
since tests/testsuite.at is relative to 
"/home/bfriesen/src/gnu/libtool-head", not 
"/home/bfriesen/src/gnu/libtool-head/tests".

Actually, it looks like this bug has been there for quite a long time, only until I applied my year-old patches from libtool-next to make the bootstrap process leaner, it was masked by the fact that the testsuite was prebuilt in $(srcdir)/tests before running configure.  Nice catch, thanks! :)

Anyway, fixed by the appended patch which I'll push as obvious presently.

tests: ensure VPATH autom4te search path can find autotests.

* Makefile.am (tests/testsuite): Passing only $(srcdir) include path
to autom4te is unable to find tests/package.m4, and passing only
$(srcdir)/tests breaks VPATH build searches for TESTSUITE_AT files,
which are relative to $(srcdir)... so we pass both!
