Yep, go ahead, ocmmit them

Im keen to experiment with dejagnu for limit, (working on a rough 
framework as we speak) and if we decide it's a good idea, will try for 
some sort of extract script to parse the "$CREATE" etc out of the TCS files.

An alternative track that also deserves consideration, is (as Sean 
points out) adjusting the TCS test tool parser to run from text files.

Long term dejagnu/expect offers a much richer control language for 
driving test cases and checking results.  And I think in writing a new 
test tool, (other than something for a thrasher) we would end up with 
the same problems as the current TCS program.  

Anyway dejagnu  does run on all our platforms (including win32).

So I'd like to use it to test limit, to see how we go with it.


BTW: I can't remember if I said, but I commited Franks TCS database 
extract tools into the TCS tree, and added a few simple instructions and 
script into TCS on how to build TCS.
