Ok thanks.

Just an idea: I find it quite cumbersome to add a new entry in 
configure.ac for each test script that we want autoconf to process (such 
as in patch 3/3).  I think it could be easier to have a single file 
(e.g. vars.sh) and have it contain definitions of various directories:

   srcdir=@srcdir@
   top_srcdir=@top_srcdir@
   abs_top_srcdir=@abs_top_srcdir@
   builddir=@builddir@
   ...

This way, you could have only a single generated file (vars.sh.in -> 
vars.sh), and each test script would just have to source that file to 
use the values.
