This framework uses the user's installations of Autoconf and Automake to bootstrap the tests, so the test suite will actually test libtool's behavior on platform-acversion-amversion tuples. Is that intentional? I kind of like that, since the suite will test the collection of tools the user will actually employ. If the test suite comes to run all tests in this manner, it will probably take about twice as long to run. I suppose that is worth the added precision.
Except for under MinGW/Cygwin where it will likely take 10x as long. :-(The good news is that Autoconf and Automake do install properly under MinGW/Cygwin. Sooner or later we will encounter a target where this is not feasable or the effort is otherwise prohibitive. Should we worry about that?
