This bypasses the wrappers installed in ./tests and therefore causes each just-built executable to be run *without* the options pointing it at the matching, not-yet-installed, .m4 and .m4f files. This may be harmless in this case since we're (I presume) only running the executables in --help mode, but it's not correct in general and I don't want to give future hackers reading the Makefiles the wrong impression. Under normal circumstances, there should always be a wrapper in ./tests for each executable in ./bin. Exactly what did you do that made you think this patch was necessary? Please be excruciatingly detailed. zw
