     I tried it  and see the results below. Due to a patch of mine, there should
     1 tests and 1 failure added to the counts.
     Would the same trick work for some of the other executables used in the
     tests?

Unfortunatey I don't think so.  For two reasons:

1.  We cannot "shadow" the pspp-convert command using a bash function, because 
    bash functions cannot contain hyphens.

2.  As discussed earlier, many of the other commands need to be compiled for the
    build machine rather than the host machine.  This will require significant
    rearrangement of the automake files.
