Who is expected to use these instructions? The link in
contribute.html lets GCC contributors know about a way to increase
their testing, as does the link from develop.html. I've added the
following to the testing page, which is aimed at people who want to
help out by doing extra testing.
A link to simtest-howto.html doesn't seem to fit into install/test.html
but if you've got an idea where it should be mentioned there, please
submit it. And thanks, Jim, for all your comments about this document.
