 Nice catch!  I have no idea about at_status, but pending that please
 do push.

Pushed now, under the provisional OK from Paul on autoconf-patches.
(If Autoconf does change later, then we're still not worse off than we
were before the patch, because at_status is only examined in the failure
case anyway.)

Thanks for the speedy review!

using git Libtool with Autoconf 2.59, Automake 1.9.6

[Ralf Wildenhues]

I tried running the Libtool test suites with old Autoconf 2.59 and
Automake 1.9.6 (on GNU/Linux only) after 'autoreconf -fvi'-ing all
but the toplevel directory with those tools.  I was surprised to see
that it still works more or less!  :-)

This patch fixes the fall-out.  OK to push if the use of $at_status is

Thanks,

Fix getopt tests to skip with Autoconf  2.61.

* tests/getopt-m4sh.at (_LT_AT_GETOPT_M4SH_SETUP): Skip the test
of 'autom4te --language=m4sh' exits 63 because version 2.61 is
required.  Allows the testsuite to complete successfully with
Autoconf 2.59 and Automake 1.9.6.
