-Subject: Makefile-tests.am: make check uses the built binaries
-
-The tests suite was failing locally as it was using the installed
-version of rofiles-fuse, instead of the built one.  Create the needed
-symlinks in tests/ as we are already doing for the "ostree" binary.
-
-ostree-prepare-root and ostree-remount added for completeness.

-Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Scrivano <gscrivan@redhat.com>

-Bug: #395
-Reviewed-by: cgwalters
-Origin: upstream, commit:307f4b2957d0416604b1b0f9e74d72fd695c7137
