Looks ok to me (untested).  Doesn't Autotest though guarantee that each
test runs in its own subshell, saving you from the need to unset, which
also saves you from the fact that CONFIG_SITE may be needed for good
testsuite exposure.  (If this guarantee isn't given, or not set in stone
in the documentation, then it should be IMVHO.)

I've thought that before; it may be necessary in the end.  However, I'd
like to wait with that, let's say another bug report or two.  Also, it's
very unfortunate as using CONFIG_SITE to our advantage enables to test
more (e.g., currently we don't have a good way to pass --host to all
configure scripts in the test suite, to harrass a cross compiler).

Thanks.  Keith, if you'd like to test, you can speed up your testing by
running this after applying the patch:

  make check TESTSUITEFLAGS='-v -d 95'

assuming that 95 was the right test number, else

  make check TESTSUITEFLAGS='-v -d -k autoreconf'

(for non-GNU make the syntax is a bit different).

Cheers,
Ralf
