I was hoping that I would have some time to look at the patch,
but I don't think it's going to happen this week. But I just LOVE
the idea of it. In fact, I have been doing my own testing by
setting DEJAGNU=... to the board file in the source directory
itself, rather than make a copy. The only thing I needed to do
was create a boards directory inside the sources which was less
than ideal. So, I'm all for your enhancement.
Thanks for doing this!
