#26 Screen section testsuite

[Edward Hart]

Attached is a testsuite for the runtime behaviour of the screen section. I've been maintaining it for a while now and I'm sure others will find it useful.

Note that it assumes your system has xterm installed. If you don't have xterm or want to run the tests in a different terminal, just replace xterm in the source with the name of your terminal emulator.

Compile with

autom4te --lang=autotest -o ./testsuite ./screen_test.at

The latest version is found in the comments below.

Updated for [bugs:#423]. Includes checks for SIZE and UPDATE. One test currently fails due to [bugs:#428].

Integrated as manual testsuite with [r2506] + [r2507], may be run with make checkmanual (we can rename this with a time frame until 3.0-rc1 [should be done within one week]).

As the actual way to run may need to be tweaked locally I've moved this part to a local script that may be changed by the user.

@Edward: Please adjust the "environment" as you want and update the actual tests if you have anything more recent. I'll add more tests when adjusting the extended screen behaviour, too.

Note: [r2509] added the option to run with screen instead of xterm and always defaults to using screen if $DISPLAY is not set (I think this should work in most cases but there may be a better solution).
