I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I found it useful
to configure a testsuite as a subpackage:
foo/
+-configure.ac <-- contains AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS([testsuite])
+-src/
+-...
+-testsuite/
+-configure.ac <-- contains AC_ARG_ENABLE for testsuite options
+-testsuite.at
+-...
and put the configuration of the testsuite into AC_ARG_WITH/AC_ARG_ENABLE
in testsuite/configure.ac. The testsuite configuration options can be
passed to the top-level configure (as they are passed down) or the
testsuite can be reconfigured (e.g. to run the executable with specific
run-time options) after the executable is compiled.
