This change implements a more correct and idiomatic use of the features of the Automake-provided 'parallel-tests' harness. Moreover, this change is required in order for the testsuite to continue to work with the new testsuite harness that is planned to be introduced in Automake 1.12 (which, as of the writing date, is still under development and in late alpha stage).
