[svn-r11034] Purpose:

bug fix.

Description:
-nt is not a universal option for the test command in all platforms.
The use of it in conclude.am cause some platforms to bark at the
Makefile generated.

Solution:
Created a command script bin/newer which tests if file1 is newer
than file2.  Replace the "test file1 -nt file2" by
"newer file1 file2".

Platforms tested:
Tested in sol.
