That's a little better, but not much. In principle, all environment we
depend on should have a good reason we do. We get sporadic bug reports
in autotools about all kinds of variables that we inherit and use, e.g.,
$U. All such variables need to be documented, and, as much as possible,
sanitized. I simply don't understand why you need $me adjustable, and
the name does not imply that Automake's uses it, or what it would use it
for. am_test_name is better, but doesn't explain either why it would be
needed in the first place.
Thanks,
Ralf
