but is there a market for it? AFAIK, people use ``make check'' to
test the just built program. Does anyone try to move the autotest
generated script somewhere else?
If I copy Autoconf's tests/testsuite to a new directory and run it
there, I get:
## ------------------------------ ##
## GNU Autoconf 2.59d test suite. ##
## ------------------------------ ##
Executables (autoheader, autoupdate...).
1: Syntax of the shell scripts skipped (tools.at:49)
2: Syntax of the Perl scripts FAILED (tools.at:74)
3: autom4te cache ok
...
Not very encouraging. Perhaps no one has tried this before.
What is atconfig good for, shouldn't it be moved together with
testsuite?

... and the other way round: if we don't see any advantage in having
the test script as a single file, we won't caare. ;-)
Actually, the atconfig file seems to indicate that your concept has
been silently broken long ago...
Have a nice day,
