Great eye, Gavin. The damn missing character demon was at it again.
Indeed, I found the little bugger's work buried within the
RecoveryTest.sh target as well (missing quotation).

Two other questions, which I suppose one is an automake question, but
you might be able to help me with.

The first one is if I use AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([AutomakeAuxiliary]) in my
configure.ac, how do I get the generated makefile to remove the
directory once done? I already have the following in my Makefile.am, but
it only cleans out the contents of the directory, but leaves the latter.

MAINTAINERCLEANFILES =                          \
        $(srcdir)/AutomakeAuxiliary/config.h.in     \
        $(srcdir)/AutomakeAuxiliary/config.guess    \
        $(srcdir)/AutomakeAuxiliary/config.rpath    \
        $(srcdir)/AutomakeAuxiliary/config.sub      \
        $(srcdir)/AutomakeAuxiliary/depcomp         \
        $(srcdir)/AutomakeAuxiliary/install-sh      \
        $(srcdir)/AutomakeAuxiliary/missing         \
        $(srcdir)/AutomakeAuxiliary                 \
...

Lastly, at the end of my ./configure, I'd like to output a general
summary of parameters the build will be created with. One of those is
whether NLS was enabled. Is there a way to check for $enable_nls without
having to manually define it like so?

    # Native language support...
    AC_ARG_ENABLE([nls],
        [AS_HELP_STRING([--disable-nls],
            [do not use native language support @<:@default: yes@:>@])],
        [enable_nls=${enableval}], 
        [enable_nls=yes])

Thanks a lot,
