This is somehow confusing, as check_SCRIPTS and check_PROGRAMS seem to
be defined as the scripts/programs needed by the tests (those in TESTS),
although it says they can be added to TESTS...
Add to that that common_utils_tests is not really a script (like a
shell/Python/etc would be), and it's somehow that due to not being built
with automake.

I've just sent a couple of patches which, in the end, link the two tests
in mllib using automake.

Right, although with my patches this is now check_PROGRAMS.
