Sorry to come to this thread so late, but I'd just like to say
that dejagnu is like democracy -- it's the worst system imaginable,
except for all the others.
I say so as someone who used to have to maintain a test suite
for a debugger without benefit of expect or dejagnu. You have
no idea what a world of difference it makes, just to be able to
test with regular expressions!
I don't mean to invalidate any of the complaints about either
the testsuite or its documentation. Especially the documentation.
