* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_CLEANUP): Rename AT_help as

* tests/wrapper.as (AUTOCONF, AUTOM4TE, ): Point to tests/
executables, not bin/ executables! Otherwise all the magic needed
to find non installed files is turned off. This caused a failure
of test 40 and 41 that ran aclocal 1.8 which in turn ran autom4te
as found in its environment (sent by tests/autoreconf): pointing
to bin/autom4te that could not find its files.

There are still several issues: (i) there are too many runs of m4

spreading on several lines are not handled gracefully, (iii) the

(its handling should move from m4 to autom4te).

matters, as warnings are now reported via traces.
* lib/autoconf/general.m4 (AC_DIAGNOSE): Don't make it a copy of
the contents of m4_warn: make it _call_ m4_warn, so that tracing
the latter reveals calls to the former.

We _have_ to stop using the old compatibility scheme that tried to
avoid useless backslashes because Libtool 1.4.3 contains a
AC_DEFINE([error_t], [int],
[Define to a type to use for `error_t' if it is not
otherwise available.])
We _have_ to quote the single quote and backslashes with . The
old compatibility scheme saw that ` was backslashed, and therefore
did not quote the single quote. Hence before this patch, Autoconf
was not compatible with Libtool.
