[SIMPLE PATCH] {maint} Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.

[Stefano Lattarini]

Hi Ralf.

Since the patch series "Fix/improve requirements declaration for test 
scripts" is starting to fall hopelessly out of sync with the state of
the master branch (and this situation will only be worsened by the
on-going refactoring of tests/defs.in in the "tests-init" branch), 
what about applying at least the attached patch to maint?  It is 
simple and uncontroversial enough IMHO (unfortunately it happened
to be the last one in the said patch series; bummer).

OK for maint?

Regards,
   Stefano

Subject: [PATCH] Do not require "gzip" explicitly in tests.

The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
target system for Automake.  So it's pointless to put it in
$required.

* tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
* tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
* tests/pr9.test: Likewise.

From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.

        Make some `confh*.test' tests more "semantic" (plus tweakings).
        * tests/confh.test: Run "autoconf", "configure" and "make check",
        instead of munging/grepping the generated `Makefile.in'.
