It took me a while to figure out how to do this so I figured that it should be
in the docs. OK for trunk?
* doc/install.texi: Add more details on selecting multiple tests.
Thanks,

+The file-matching expression following @var{filename}@command{.exp=} is treated
+as a series of whitespace-delimited glob expressions so that multiple patterns
+may be passed, although any whitespace must either be escaped or surrounded by
+tick marks if multiple expressions are desired. For example,

The @file{*.exp} files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC
source, the most important ones being @file{compile.exp},
@file{execute.exp}, @file{dg.exp} and @file{old-deja.exp}.
