I would not disagree too loudly on aesthetic grounds, but automake is
smart enough to preface the check_PROGRAMS with a ./ (or at least
enough of the directory tree) so there is no real problem in calling
it test, true or even false (if you wanted to be _really_ nasty to the
next generation of developers).

All in all the naming is not really a worry.  I'm surprised about the
ordering of TESTS and check_PROGRAMS though...



Cheers,

S.
