Add test for fixity of (%).

Add rank-N test

Remove old droppings

Don't do anything, just emit a helpful message.

Not required any more

should have been removed before

Add a SOH read test

enable the 'optasm' way iff GhcWithNativeCodeGen=YES  (should
eliminate all the bogus test failures on Alpha).

Don't enable the optasm way by default

Add test for large character values in literals, along with Char.ord.

Make rnfail037 into a multi-module test.

Add multimod_compile_fail

Add multimod_compile_fail() (which is to multimod_compile() as
compile_fail() is to compile()).

Make simpl006 and simpl007 into proper multi-module tests

Move a multi-module test into its own directory.

Fix test name

add missing files

Fix framework errors in this test

Move two multi-module tests into their own directories and make them
proper multi-module tests rather than ordered single-module tests.
The previous hack broke down when the profiling way was added.

Fix an error in the test spec file, and remove a duplicate test

import System.Time to get the non-abstract version of ClockTime (the
H98 Time library is now more strict in what it exports).

Update expected output after recent changes to Read (MERGE TO STABLE?)

Add missing test.T for this test.

Add missing stderr file.

Use canned only_ways() rather than rolling our own.

Convert this file to the new test framework (this dir wasn't checked
out in my local tree it seems).

Add canned only_ways() opt-fn.

rnfail034 works, not sure why it was an expected failure

Fixes for framework errors (strange, I though I fixed these yesterday
before committing...)

hack this test to ignore any spurious .prof files in the directory listing

Remove -fasm option from this test: it now gets tested with both
-fvia-C and -fasm by the test driver.

Rearrange the compiler command line slightly so that the various
extra_hc_opts come after the source filename.  (fixes ffi002)

Revamp the testsuite framework.  The previous framework was an
experiment that got a little out of control - a whole new language
with an interpreter written in Haskell was rather heavyweight and left
us with a maintenance problem.

So the new test driver is written in Python.  The downside is that you
need Python to run the testsuite, but we don't think that's too big a
problem since it only affects developers and Python installs pretty
easily onto everything these days.

Highlights:

  - 790 lines of Python, vs. 5300 lines of Haskell + 720 lines of
    <strange made-up language>.

  - the framework supports running tests in various "ways", which should
    catch more bugs.  By default, each test is run in three ways:
    normal, -O, and -O -fasm.  Additionally, if profiling libraries
    have been built, another way (-O -prof -auto-all) is added.  I plan
    to also add a 'GHCi' way.

    Running tests multiple ways has already shown up some new bugs!

  - documentation is in the README file and is somewhat improved.

  - the framework is rather less GHC-specific, and could without much
    difficulty be coaxed into using other compilers.  Most of the
    GHC-specificness is in a separate configuration file (config/ghc).

Things may need a while to settle down.  Expect some unexpected
failures.
