TODO
Done
- Not all grep's have -q, replace with "grep [foo] >
/dev/null"
- $PATH in Makefile.in needs parentheses for "make clean". Patch
provided by David M. Williams, not yet integrated.
- StrictModes causes the tests to fail on some Cygwin configs,
make
StrictModes no the default.
- Use
/bin/ls${EXEEXT} for the scp test data rather
than /bin/ls (suggested by Corinna Vinschen)
- Skip agent-getpeereid test if HAVE_GETPEEREID is not
defined.
