Yes, it is.  Please install, but rename at_status to lt_status, we
should not infringe upon Autotest's namespace.  By the way, it also
mistreats its third and fourth arguments in some cases, I believe.
We could either add some m4_case machinery to fix this or just decide
they should be `ignore,ignore' anyway..

Thanks for the patch!

Cheers,
Ralf
