gEDA: Test supervisor RFC

[stevenwilson <stevenwilson-at-NOSPAMmicron_dot_com>]

This is probably most interesting to Steve Williams,
but I thought I'd throw it out for general comment.

Given the following facts:

1) I'm minimally competent in perl
2) I'm NOT worth a darn in sh.
3) I need to write some sort of supervisory process that will
   run the accumulated tests for regression.
4) There are some tests that are going to be compile only,
   others are both compile and execute, and some others are
   are tests of the compiler that validate the compiler catches
   certain error cases.

I was planning on writting the test supervisor in perl, and use a
number of lists to determine which tests are run in each category.

Any comments about choices here???
