Have to touch the testsuite.at to make the tests work on MSYS2 #56

I have just created a matio-package for MSYS2, see https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/pull/2296 So far my mileage is pretty good, but in order to make test test suite work, I have to use a strange workaround: I have to touch test/testsuite.at before executing make check. Is thee some logic that uses the file date for something related to the tests? If yes, is there a better, cleaner solution then to touch the file?

Sorry, I have no idea, since I am not a GNU tools expert.
