b8d698ca1d The recent addition of `exit's prototype in confdefs.h causes
AC_OUTPUT_MAKE_DEFS to include junky -D switches.
Reported by Wolfgang Mueller.
* tests/torture.at (#define header templates): Include trash in
confdefs.h.

`quote' section, `p'rint the result.
If neither `#define' pattern match, just call `d' to start a new
cycle.
