Bruno,

Thanks for the reply.  I realize that this is not the intended use of gnulib.  
However, I am considering creating a test suite for gnulib and I would like to 
use automake TESTS for when they run make check.

I'm a little bit of a n00b to this so maybe there is a better way??

Thanks again,
