[FYI] {master} tests: avoid a spurious failures for shells with busted 'set -e'

Some versions of the BSD Korn shell wrongly bail out when the 'errexit' shell flag is active and the left-hand command in a "&&" list fails and that list is the *last* command of the body of a "while" or "for" loop. * tests/install-info-dir.test: Work around that behaviour. Signed-off-by: Stefano

[PATCH 8/8] maint: simplify generation of files with @substed@ stuff

Use a proper "config.status --file=-" idiom to do most substitutions in our generated files, to avoid too much duplications between the various $(do_subst) commands in Makefile.am and the (explicit or implicit AC_SUBST) invocation in configure.ac. >From a suggestion by Eric Blake and Federico Simo

[PATCH 2/8] tests: remove recipes that run tests with 'prove'

Those recipes has served its purpose by helping us during the development of TAP support in Automake, to ensure our TAP driver didn't have gratuitous incompatibilities with the 'prove' test runner. But they are now unused, out-of-date and bitrotting. So it's better to just remove them. We can re
