+	tests: ensure VPATH autom4te search path can find autotests.
+	* Makefile.am (tests/testsuite): Passing only $(srcdir) include path
+	to autom4te is unable to find tests/package.m4, and passing only
+	$(srcdir)/tests breaks VPATH build searches for TESTSUITE_AT files,
+	which are relative to $(srcdir)... so we pass both!
+	* NEWS: Updated.
+	Reported by Bob Friesenhahn.
