    Merge branch 'master' into ng/master

    * master:
      tests: move 'runtest' into the top-level directory
      cosmetics: rename t/ax/test-runner => t/ax/runtest
      fixup: another "make recheck" failure with BSD make
      test runner: work correctly in VPATH setups
      compat: automake should define $(mkdir_p), for backward compatibility
      coverage: test that AM_PROG_MKDIR_P and $(mkdir_p) still works
      tests init: don't automatically re-execute tests with a POSIX shell
      yacc tests: fix spurious failure with parallel make
      tests: ignore minor 'recheck' regression for BSD make
      tests: don't clutter the top-level dir with temporary test directories
      tests: avoid spurious failures when @MKDIR_P@ points to "install-sh -d"
      lisp: better support of VPATH builds
      news: fixlets and updates
