Add the numeric/ tests.

Add the printing tests.

Dem wot understands the rationale behind these tests should fix them
up accordingly.  At the moment they pass flags which ghc-5.X doesn't
understand.  Doesn't look to me as if these tests have been
operational in a long while.

Add the parser tests, formerly known as reader/.  Contains a significant
amount of breakage which needs to be looked at.

Add an implicit-parameter test

Improved diagnostics when a should_compile test fails.

Use an installed ghc-5.00.2 to build the test driver and error normaliser.
This is a temp hack until the Makefiles in testsuite/ are properly
integrated into mkworld.

Enough commits to make it usable.

More diagnostic wibbles.

Add deSugar tests.

Further improvements to printing of diagnostic information.

Add simplifier tests.

normalise_errmsg()s in a few more places.

Add stranal tests.

Assimilate renamer tests.

Print the outcome for each test as soon as it is known.  Makes
debugging the testsuite a lot easier.

Updated expected output for typechecker failure tests.

Further adventures to do with approximate matching of compiler error
messages.  Use the new pipe facility in the test driver to normalise
error messages before comparison, by piping them through new program
normalise_errmsg.  This avoids various kinds of tiresome comparison
failures to do with capitalisation, whitespace changes, and path
names.

Add support for piping arbitrary strings through arbitrary programs.

Add typechecker should_fail tests.

Document current limitations of ghc-regress tests.

Quite a significant number of your typechecker tests are belong to
fptools/testsuite.

Hey!  This game is easy.

Complete the codeGen tests.

Add support for compile-only (should_run) style tests.

Various misc hackery which didn't seem to have made it through since the
last commit.

All your codeGen tests are belong to me.  Well, the should_run ones,
at least.

Command-line enhancements:
* Restrict the run to specific test(s).
* Allow variables to be set at the command line.

Track recent hackery.

More minor tweaks.

Move to new framework.

Many improvements and debuggings.  The test driver now works as
desired, with multiple tests described in each .T file, and with the
test driver having a minimum of hardwired logic.

Onwards and upwards (allegedly).

Yet another major rewrite of the test driver.

Save today's work in a safe of placety, in view of the catastrophically
bad current state of our main NFS server.

Commit hackery so far.

Beginnings of documentation for the driver language syntax/semantics.

Changes to support running "vanilla" tests -- those with a single source
file, reference .stdin, .stdout and maybe .stderr files.  These constitute
the vast majority of GHC tests.

Make another sad directory happy.

You can now cd to fptools/testsuite and do 'make all'.  This will
build the test driver and then run ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace over
the as-yet small collection of tests herein.

It is a sad directory that does not contain a Makefile.

Typo in test config file:  expect -> expected
