Using '--test --with-tests' or '--create-testdir --with-tests' is quite
common.  Is there any reason why --with-tests isn't the default?  It
seems rare to want to test a module without also wanting to include its
self-tests.  Naively, it also seems surprising that '--test' and
'-create-testdir' does not bring in self-*tests*.

What do you think of making --with-tests a no-op, and add a
--without-tests to disable it?  This would save us all some typing...

I haven't looked into the gnulib-tool changes at all so I don't know how
difficult it would be to implement.
