I've attached them both.

I think you mean automake _doesn't_ see config/cppunit.mk.in...See below for
why I did things this way.

This seems much more straightforward, but unfortunately cppunit.mk.in
contains an if statement that's meant for make, but it confuses automake:

cppunittest: buildtest
ifneq ($(TIMEDRUN),)
        $(LDLIB_OVERRIDE) $(TIMEDRUN) $(TIMEDRUN_TIMEOUT)
./testrunner$(EXE_EXT) $(TESTARGS)
else
        $(LDLIB_OVERRIDE) ./testrunner$(EXE_EXT) $(TESTARGS)
endif

I tried to come up with a way to get around this either using a proper
automake conditional or doing something at configure time, but the idea is
to run:

$ make test

and optionally define TIMEDRUN on the command line...

Thanks again for your help.
