Hi Bruno,
I've added the mailing list in Cc: and full-quote.

This sounds great as a plan! Test details can and will have to be fixed
later anyway when the actual implementation happens.
It makes sense to add '$MAKE distcheck' at the end in a number of the
tests, to ensure that VPATH build and distclean work as expected.
Actually, checking 'make clean' semantics might be useful at some
points, or checking that a second 'make all' finds things to be up to
date (the latter can be a portability hassle, so we usually
required=GNUmake there).
Thanks,
Ralf
