Thanks for the patch, Mike.

    * lib/am/dejagnu.am (site.exp): Use $(AM_V_GEN) 

Ok. Can you tell me how to discern that this makes a difference?
Is there some test where it can be observed?
I've never actually used dejagnu with Automake. 

    and merge all independent shell calls into one.

Is something gained by doing so? I actually find it more readable to
avoid long \-continued shell commands in Automake wherever
possible. (Admittedly there are already zillions of places where there
is no way to avoid it.  Indeed, IMHO those constructs are the single
hardest-to-debug aspect of Automake.) --thanks, karl.
