Comment:

 Sadly we can't use --enable-serial-tests as an option to configure because
 that is a post-generation option, and we need to specify the automake
 options during autoreconf time. Checking for AM_PROG_INSTALL is also naive
 as that macro seems to come and go. So instead, I have created a
 bootstrap.sh script that drives generating the configure script. Part of
 its work is to check the version of automake being used and to produce a
 macro file that is used to set the automake options. By default
 bootstrap.sh will use the parallel test harness. If you want to use the
 serial test harness for use on the build farm so you only have a single
 log file to scrape, invoke bootstrap.sh with the single argument "serial".
 Updated the guide accordingly as well.
