This is a valuable change.

Some code in lib/autotest/general.m4 contemplates the possibility that
`atconfig' does not exist, a so-called standalone test suite.  In this case,
$at_testdir will be empty or unset, and the output will look funny.  You could
use $at_suite_log (`pwd`/$as_me.log), as an alternative.

We don't document this possibility; you might be safe ignoring it.

Likewise; you could use $at_suite_dir here, or just leave it as-is if the
non-atconfig case does not matter.
