Yes!  This works finally the way I want.  Thank you so much!

Many thanks to all of you who responded - you all helped me a lot.

I believe it would be a useful extension of Automake to support three
kinds of test suites:

- one that stops right after the first test fails,

- one that executes all tests in the working directory, but which
  stops right in this directory if some test failed (the way Automake
  works now),

- one that executes all tests, no matter that some tests failed.

Don't you think this would be useful?  Some other ideas?


Thanks & best,
Irek
