so that make(1) will run in an almost clean environment and enhance the
description of the test infrastructure.
Add the ability to have multiple tests carried out per test script.
Give some tests more meaningful names.
Fix the usage message from the test scripts.
Make it possible to pass several commands to the test scripts like:
'sh test.t setup run compare clean'.
shell meta characters it is not passed to the shell, but the command
is executed directly (given that the line is not a shell builtin) and
that the line with a meta character is passed to the shell.
and adjust the path in the Makefile for the upgrade_checks target.
These checks are really feature upgrade checks that should be fast
and just find out whether we need to build a new make before
proceeding with other targets like buildworld. This makes the
place free for a real regression test suite in the old place.
by forcing the creation of an object directory for the make regression
tests. Let make handle the tracking of the dependency and installation

that you create one of the object directories make knows (see make(1)).
This uses the -C flag, so add a test that checks that make actually accepts
-C. Also fix the test that selects csh via the .SHELL target to work for
tcsh users too.
This commit renames shell_test to shell_test.sh. There is no history
to preserve so go without a repo-copy.

Update README to describe the new protocol. The work's broken down into
two main sets of changes.
First, update the existing test programs (shell scripts and C programs)
to produce output in the ok/not ok format, and to, where possible, also
produce a header describing the number of tests that are expected to be
run.
Second, provide the .t files that actually run the tests. In some cases
these are copies of, or very similar too, scripts that already existed.
I've kept the old scripts around so that it's possible to verify that
behaviour under this new system (in terms of whether or not a test fails)
is identical to the behaviour under the old system.
Add a TODO file.
warning: duplicate script for target "double" ignored
The regression-tests do try to hide that message, but the message does
still appear when using -j (eg: 'make -j5 buildworld'). This changes the
regression-test so the expected warning message will not be seen even
when -j is specified.
