Jim Meyering 512e111a92 Revamp test-related Makefiles.
One side-effect of this change is that "make check" now works even if
you put "." early in your shell's search PATH (don't do that!).

Remove all test-related Makefile.am files, except those generated
by mk-script.  Instead, tests/Makefile.am now lists not only the
tests directly under tests/, but also those in tests/*/ that are
not generated by mk-script, e.g., cp/abuse, cp/acl, mv/i-1, etc.

A lot of these changes are like this:

-. $srcdir/../lang-default
+. $top_srcdir/tests/lang-default

-. $srcdir/../test-lib.sh
+. $top_srcdir/tests/test-lib.sh

* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove corresponding Makefiles.
* tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Relax syntax requirements.
* tests/rwx-to-mode: Remove file.  Rewritten as...
* tests/test-lib.sh (rwx_to_mode_): ...this new function.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rwx-to-mode.
(SUBDIRS): Remove each dir with a removed Makefile.am.
(EXTRA_DIST): Add $(TESTS).
(TESTS): Add over 300 entries.

# Add the option and perform this test:

# Test method:
# ==============

n_bytes=10000000
time=/bin/time
for line_len in 80 200 400 800 3000; do

  echo "line length: $line_len"
  write-file-of-size --bytes=$n_bytes --line-length=$line_len > in

  # sort a file with $n-char lines using the default of N=30
  $time sort in > x

  # sort the same file with --line-length=$n
  SORT_INITIAL_LINE_LENGTH=`expr $line_len + 1` $time sort in > x

  echo
  # compare run times
done

# do this on at least SunOS, Linux, Solaris

# RESULTS:
# Solaris5.5.1, x86 dual PPro/200: none
# Linux 3.0.29 x86 P/100: 5-6% improvement for 80, 200, 400,
#     but 1-2% penalty for 800 and 3000
