Nice, thanks Pedro.  I was reading that page :-).

Yao, could you please put the board file somewhere in your machine,
follow the instructions above, and let me know the path to the site.exp
file that you create?  I can instruct BuildBot to set the DEJAGNU
environment variable to this file, then.

Thanks,
