I'm looking into this right now, and have a question. Inside the test, I
need to get the absolute path to the source file. If I use:

   "${srcdir}/${subdir}/${srcfile}"

the result is:

   "../.././gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/basics.c"

while output of gdb has absolute path name. So: how do I convert relative
path to an absolute one inside a test? (I don't know anything about Tcl, so
it's not obvious for me).

BTW, it would be nice in gdbint explicitly said how one can run a specific
test from testsuite.

Well, at the moment the -break-info command is not documented at all, so
there's no place where I can add the extra "fullname" field.
