Dmitry,

   Are you planning to add Svein's cases to your growing list?

   Today is my first day back on-line. I've cleared the first thousand
emails. In between catching up with work, I hope to get back to the test
environment before the weekend.

   DejaGnu was starting to show some of its power, when I went off for
Christmas. There's just a few things to get one's head around, and the
DejaGnu documentation is an edifice that answers a lot of questions I'm
not asking.

   One advantage is the ability to apply existing generic test cases,
common to all target processors.

   Once the initial DejaGnu configuration is firing on a few more
cylinders, we can apply your specific test cases. 

   There may still be a need to negotiate/communicate on automation of
the more tedious aspects of testcase generation, IIRC, but we'll sort
that out as we go, I'm sure.
