After recent changes to the trunk added some test files, the
resulting distributions broke "configure", which would complain
that a test Makefile.in was absent from the distribution. For now
I've fixed the problem by installing the patch enclosed below,
but it'd be nice if someone more conversant with the new test scheme
reviewed this to make sure that make-dist is distributing the right
set of files.
* make-dist: Distribute test/ files too.
Distribute every file under test/ that is under version control,
using patterns like *.el to capture files that are added later.
Without this change, "configure" would fail, because it would
attempt to build from a Makefile.in that was not distributed.

So the position has changed?

Because the test files are not to be distributed with the tarball.

Was there really a consensus about that? Why shouldn't they be distributed?

No, sorry, I wasn't aware of that position, and I don't know whether
it has changed. However, _something_ needed to be done; without the
change, "configure" doesn't work when you run "configure" out of a
fresh distribution, and that's a serious bug. If there's a better
approach for fixing the bug, please let me know, and I can implement it.

I still want to move the `test' outside of Emacs's tree into
a separate branch.
