Hello automakers. Here I propose a series of patches to improve the granularity and modularity of the tests checking Automake's silent-mode with languages other than C.
Currently, almost all these tests are crammed into the single test script `silent5.test'. This makes them more difficult to understand, and also makes dubugging in case of a failure much less convenient. Therefore I propose to separate the tests for different languages (C++, Lex, Yacc, Fortran, etc.) into separate scripts. Pleas note that this does *not* imply the removal of `silent5.test', since it can still work very well as a stress test for silent-rules when many different languages are used at once. Patches will follow soon. Regards, Stefano
