A few of the tests are failing when I build autogen/autoopts on OpenBSD
4.4 (on an otherwise run-of-the-mill x86 system). I checked a few older
versions as well, and 5.9.4 through 5.9.7 all seem to fail the same way.
The failure that seems odd to me is in enums.test, which fails like this:

> creating enums.hlp
> FAILURE: 24c24
> <   or an integer between 0 and 9
> ---
> >   or an integer from 1 through 10
> 29c29
> <   or an integer between 0 and 15
> ---
> >   or an integer mask with any of the lower 16 bits set
> FAIL: enums.test

Although I'm not too familiar with autoopts, it looks to me like the test
is in error, and the generated help file is what it should be --- but if
that were the case, presumably someone else would have noticed this error
by now... So I assume there must be something peculiar to my setup.
Any ideas? Which of those messages is really correct?

The other test failure looks innocuous, though it makes 'make check'
unhappy. Starting in version 5.9.5, nested.test and cfg-edit.test fail
with a mismatch like this one:

> creating nested-base.help
> FAILURE: 15c15
> <  - reading file nested.d/nested.cfg
> ---
> >  - reading file 
> > /usr/ports/devel/autogen/w-autogen-5.9.6p0/autogen-5.9.6/autoopts/test/testdir/nested.d/nested.cfg
> FAIL: nested.test

that is, the test is emitting an absolute path where the .test file expects
a relative path.

I've tarred up the tests/FAILURES/ directory and put it at this url,
in case it's useful:
