[PATCH 0/5] Modularize testing of automake silent-mode for languages != C

[Stefano Lattarini]

Hello automakers.

Here I propose a series of patches to improve the granularity and 
modularity of the tests checking Automake's silent-mode with languages 
other than C.

Currently, almost all these tests are crammed into the single test 
script `silent5.test'.  This makes them more difficult to understand, 
and also makes dubugging in case of a failure much less convenient.

Therefore I propose to separate the tests for different languages (C++, 
Lex, Yacc, Fortran, etc.) into separate scripts.  Pleas note that this 
does *not* imply the removal of `silent5.test', since it can still
work very well as a stress test for silent-rules when many different
languages are used at once.

Patches will follow soon.  Regards,
   Stefano
