[bind10-dev] automake and unittest changes

[Mukund Sivaraman]

Hi all

Some changes have been made to automake recently, that in the context of
BIND 10 makes the gtest output go into *.log files (and test names are
no longer printed on standard output as they run).  Instead, a summary
of counts is printed at the end of each test program's execution.

See: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Parallel-Test-Harness

I have committed .gitignore rules for the *.log and *.trs files in
commit e45f325ec7438e0ecd09d37a7d938348232b994d, but it would be better
for us when reading buildbot output if the test names and results were
printed while the tests are executed on standard output, so that we can
get output such as the following:

http://git.bind10.isc.org/~tester/builder/BIND10/20130709205038-FreeBSD8-i386/logs/unittests.out

It seems possible to get the old behavior by using the serial-tests
automake option, but this seems to be discouraged:
