Re: [Tcllib-devel] anyone taking a look at the current tcllib testsuite and tcl/tk 8.5?

tcltest. sak however has changed to use animated feedback by default, for an
interactive terminal. Regular logs via -v and -l, see also the built-in
documentation reachable via

	% ./sak help test

Hm. Ok. Did you sak directly ? Or via 'make test' ?

We, well I, got have several complaints about this change, see for example the
patch
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1584520&group_id=12883&
atid=312883

Now I am trying to think about useful defaults ... Like

*	When running from 'make test' assume a (non-interactive) buildsystem,
	and use the verbose log (option -v, verbose).

*	When running sak directly assume interactive use, and use the
	new animated feedback.

There was also a proposal to somehow determine in sak if stdout is a redirection
or pipe and use the verbose log in these cases.
