Let me know when I should run another set of tests.

Akim, you could help folks like me by distributing some sort of wrapper
script that does the following:
- run make test
- for every failed test, run the debug*.sh script and record its output
- remember to remove config.log etc. before running each debug*.sh test
- create a tar file of everything you need: configure, config.cache,
config.log's for each debug script, the debug scripts themselves, and the
full output of "make test".
- add anything else as needed
- uuencode the tar file
Then, it would be easy for testers like myself to run such a script blindly,
and mail you the resulting archive that contains all the info you need.
That way we won't waste too much time b/t us: you ask "can you try X and
mail me the output of Y" and we have to re-run tests.
I think writing such a script once would be well worth the effort in the
future.
What do you think.
Erez.
