Yes, "subproject" is a V1 keyword, as well as the "<template>" some lines 
below.

No, you would have to change this to use V2 syntax. I've tried this, but at 
least the file

:  # input files
   ../regress/tests.txt

is missing. Possible explanations:
- the maintainer forgot to update the file during the v2 conversion
- some mishap during git conversion

I don't think that this test is still necessary, as autotesting is working 
well and even default on windows. And hopefully tested elsewhere for all 
libraries. 

Yours,

Jürgen
