Hello automakers.

While exploring and editing the automake testsuite, I came across 
three test scripts (acoutbs2.test, badopt.test, extra2.test) which 
were not listed in the $(TESTS) variable, and thus were never run.
In my opinion, this is a quite bad oversight.  In fact, one of the
tests (acoutbs2.test) consistently failed (luckily, as I soon found 
out, this failure was due to a bug in the test script, not in 
automake).

I'm going to to submit a set of four simple patches regarding the 
described problems.

The first two patches correct the oversight in the definition of 
$(TESTS), and implement a new maintainer-check to make it sure that no 
similar oversight will occur again in future.

The last two patches correct acoutbs2.test spurious failure, and (to 
play safe) also extend the tests `acoutbs.test' and `acoutbs2.test' a 
bit.

I will soon post the described patches.

Regards,
    Stefano
