Hi,

While running the libtool test suite in a continuous integration environment,
I saw two test failures. In order to investigate these test failure, I had
to understand how to pass additional options, and which options, to the
testsuite "program". I did not find this information in the HACKING file.
Therefore here is a patch to add it to the HACKING file.

In fact, the recipe is more relevant for skipped tests (since for failed
tests, tests/testsuite.dir/NNN/ is kept by default, whereas for skipped
tests it is deleted by default).

Here's an update of the proposed patch.
