cond3.test fails for three reasons.
1) variable_conditions_permutations generates multiple conditions w/o
embedded spaces
2) spaces are not *globally* replaced, just the first one

3) cond3.test has an incorrect comparison test function (the sed script
skips a line!) sorry, i'm not a big fan of sed. oh well.

pr19.test fails for two reasons.
1) foo.exe isn't cleaned properly (automake.in patch enclosed as
automake-cygwin-exeext.patch)

commenting out the last line removes foo.c (which is a temporary file)
from the make distdir target, which fails because according to automake,
foo.c is supposed to be redistributed. however, (gnu) make removes temporary
files like foo.c (generated from foo.l). in my opinion, this is correct and
should not be redistributed. the Makefile.am writer can always explicitly
include foo.c if they really want to. from the comment in the automake.in
file, it seems the automake peeps are aware of this. there are similar
comments in automake.in with other generated files as well.

I haven't looked at those yet.
