Hello colorful world,

I took the various bits of code from the parallel tests check.mk from
Akim and tried to mangle that suitable for inclusion in Automake.
This is what I ended up with.  (More topics to follow.)
What do you think about it?

It looks great.

Does anybody know how to test that colorful output actually happens?
I assume 'expect' or something similar can do this (I have no idea)?

Good question...

Do I have to assume that tput may not work as expected if I redirect
stdout to /dev/null as well?  I'm not sure if the checks in

systems.

Is the list of contributors sufficient/ok?

Thanks,
Ralf

    Implement option `color-tests' for colorized TESTS output.


    * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use `color-tests'.
    * doc/automake.texi (Tests, Options): Document test results,
    document new option.
    * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Handle it.
    * lib/am/check.am (am__tty_colors): New variable.  Use ...
    (check-TESTS): ... here.
    * NEWS: Mention color-tests.
    * tests/Makefile.in, lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.in: Regenerate.

am__tty_colors won't cause bogus output on stdout on some of the weirder * automake.in (handle_tests): Set COLOR depending on `color- tests'.

Thanks for taking care of this!
