no doubt it will wait. I apologize that I haven't made it clear earlier.

OK, so it seems we will distribute the generated *.at files.

No, nothing like this is needed. This approach is also compatible
with my variation of Noah's touch-only-if-changed patch.
There is only one problem: we should make sure the generated *.at
files are not older then the $(AUTOCONF_FILES); probably:
dist-hook:
cd $(distdir) && touch $(TESTSUITE_GENERATED_AT)
I will incorporate this to the next version of the *-testsuite.patch,
to be submitted after 2.60.
Have a nice day,
Stepan
