I'm wondering if we should use the at_func_* namespace for functions
(compare how libtool uses lt_func_ for all functions).  Partly because
some shells still aren't very good at distinguishing between function and
variable namespaces, and using an explicit namespace avoids any chance of
problematic conflicts.

Does this safely iterate over function arguments, or is it likely to
iterate over the original ./testsuite arguments on some broken shells?

The rest of the patch looks fine.
