Ah, I see, in that case, the only way I can see to do this is to have a test 
, say report-info.test that always gets put at the end of $TESTS and does 
not source defs, instead it is a simple script that says something like

#! /bin/sh
echo "If you wish to report a test group failure to the libtool list, you"
echo "need to send the verbose output of the FAILing group, along with the"
echo "information from the end of `$(top_builddir)/libtool --help' to the"
echo "bug report mailing list, <address@hidden>.  From a bourne"
echo "compatible shell, you can generate verbose test output like this:"
echo
echo "  VERBOSE=yes make check \"
echo "  TESTS='cdemo-static.test cdemo-make.test cdemo-exec.test' \"
echo "  | tee cdemo-static-group.log"
echo
echo
exit 0

Kinda ugly though.
