Re: Autotest scripts

| Okay, this is still eluding me after spending several hours reading

| 
|     AT_TESTED([cvs])
|     AT_INIT
|     for remote in false :; do
|         m4_include([init.at])
|         m4_include([tests.at])
|     done
| 
| Runs the tests in init.at and tests.at but fails to run them twice,
| once with remote set to true and once with it set to false.  The shell
| commands (the lines with the `for...do' and `done' on them don't even
| appear in the final output.

Per design.

The point is precisely that the tested code must be visible to the M4
machinery.  That is why contrary to Autoconf, code not put into AT_
macros will not be issued.
