Yes, but I am reluctant to do it your way.  Even when the test scripts
are built by executing "make", still some other errors might occur
while the command "make check" is running (I guess so, even though I
am unable to name those potential errors), and I do not want to ignore
them with the "-k" option.  I would like Automake to generate such a
piece of Makefile.in that would ignore errors from the test cases
only.


Thanks & best,
