DejaGnu 1.4.4 release

[Ben Elliston]

DejaGnu 1.4.4 has been released.

This release cleans up the source tree, makes a start at overhauling
the documentation, updates to modern versions of build tools like
automake and autoconf and applies patches that have been accumulating
in the sibling source repository at sources.redhat.com.

The hope is that these cleanups will make it easier to start improving
DejaGnu on a wider scale.  Feel free to submit suggestions to this
mailing list for improvements.

Changes from 1.4.2/1.4.3:

    1. New XML output option, so test results can be loaded into a database.
    2. Support for the KFAIL/KPASS (known failures).
    3. New "Hello World" example.
    4. New tutorial chapter.
    5. Test cases build with either GCC 2.x or 3.x.
    6. BlueGnu has been removed from the contrib directory.
    7. The contrib/test* scipts were bitrotten and have been removed.  If
       you still want copies of these, they can be found in the previous
       DejaGnu release.
    8. i960glue.c has been removed.

The source tar file should soon be available from:

    ftp.gnu.org:/pub/gnu/dejagnu/

The MD5 checksum of the file is:

    MD5 (dejagnu-1.4.4.tar.gz) = 053f18fd5d00873de365413cab17a666

Enjoy!
