Description
At time of writing automake 1.11 has not been released, so there is no plan to upgrade version requirement. The primary reason for the ticket is to list new useful features in v1.11 that we can start to use when developers have agreed v1.11 is available on their various systems.
- The default source file extension (.c) can be overridden with
AM_DEFAULT_SOURCE_EXT
now. This implies that test/Makefile.am can be significantly reduced since all SOURCE have extension (.cc).
- The "deleted header file problem" for *.m4 files is avoided by stub rules. This allows '
make
' to trigger a rerun of 'aclocal
' also if some previously needed macro file has been removed. This implies workaround in Makefile.am could be removed.

I noticed that automake 1.11 is now available at thep, so I see no reason to wait with this upgrade.
Besides the points mentioned above I'd like to use the new test-suite and the color-tests is also a nice feature.
Any opposition?

(In [2228]) Using the parallel-tests driver. All tests are now by default verbose, but 'make check' is still silent and the output is collected in log files. Please refer to test/README or the Automake manual for more details.

The test suite is extensively expanded in automake 1.11. See link below for a short tour http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2009-05/msg00124.html
