the new test-suite summary is confusing |

Hi!
I have a project that contains 8 different test-suites, each in its
own directory. Some test suite are big, other are small, but they
test different parts of the project and I like being able to run "make
check" in the relevant directory. They are run sequentially (with
SUBDIRS) when "make check" is run from the top-level.
I upgraded to Automake 1.12.1 to discover the each of these test-suite
now displays a huge summary like:
============================================================================
Testsuite summary for spot 0.9.1a
============================================================================
# TOTAL: 2
# PASS: 2
# SKIP: 0
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL: 0
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0
============================================================================
Instead of the older one-line summary I'm used too.
I can live with the extra verbosity, but I find the initial header
saying "Testsuite summary for spot 0.9.1a" in each of the test suites
very confusing. The above in definitely *not* a testsuite summary for
the project, it's only a test summary for one directory.
I think the easiest fix would be to change the header to just
"Testsuite summary", without mentioning the package.
Another option could be to let the test-suite be named in Makefile.am.
Maybe introduce
TESTS_DISPLAY_NAME = $(PACKAGE_STRING)
and use
echo "Testsuite summary for $(TESTS_DISPLAY_NAME)"
so that people with multiple test-suites can give them different names.

AM_TESTSUITE_SUMMARY_HEADER = ' for $(PACKAGE_STRING)'
I went back and forth on which quotes to use :).
Ok, accepted, pushed, thanks :). -k
