There may be other missing dependencies before test_emacs() is called
and $test_subtest_missing_external_prereqs_ would not be blank. Also, I
would like to keep the number of functions that use
$test_subtest_missing_external_prereqs_ minimal. How about:
missing_dependencies=
test_require_... dtach || missing_dependencies=1
test_require_... emacs || missing_dependencies=1
...
test -z "$missing_dependencies" || return
Regards,
Dmitry
