Just landed in inbound is a mass conversion of mochitests to use manifests.
Not all references were moved. However, the intention is to move them
all eventually. If you want to help with the effort, the tracking bug is
920185. See
https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/pushloghtml?changeset=22a30d73daf6
for what is involved.
Please try to avoid adding new mochitest-related functionality to
Makefile.in files, as you'll just be creating more work for the eventual
conversion.
The manifest file format is documented at
https://ci.mozilla.org/job/mozilla-central-docs/Build_Documentation/test_manifests.html.

Just landed in inbound and bound to stick sooner or later are some
changes to how tests are integrated with the build system.
* The per-directory xpcshell make targets have been removed. Use mach
(preferred) or TEST_PATH=... make xpcshell-tests top-level make target.
* xpcshell.ini files are now required to annotate their "support" files
so the build system knows what needs to be installed. i.e. files added
to xpcshell test directories are no longer automatically packaged by
default.
* Support for test manifests for all the flavors of mochitests have been
added to moz.build files. This means we should not be defining
mochitests in Makefile.in any more. Instead, create {browser-chrome.ini,
mochitest.ini, chrome.ini, a11y.ini} files (like xpcshell.ini files) and
reference said files in moz.build files via A11Y_MANIFESTS,
BROWSER_CHROME_MANIFESTS, MOCHITEST_MANIFESTS, and
MOCHITEST_CHROME_MANIFESTS. Bug 920185 has been filed to track this
effort. **Moving files over and reducing the total number of Makefile.in
and moz.build files will make the tree build faster.**
* Test manifests now support some additional features. Run |mach
build-docs| or see
http://build-docs.paas.allizom.org/test_manifests.html for the canonical
documentation.
