Description

The attached patches replace the sanityTest perl script with a set of small scripts which allow the automake test-runner to run the unit tests individually, as for cmake, including individual logs containing diffs where there are errors.

It also replaces some of the custom boilerplate in the Makefile.ams with AM_SILENT_RULES, which does the same thing now it's directly supported in automake (for a long time now, so all recent automake versions will support it in practice).
