FWIW, Automake's parallel-tests driver at least provides halfway decent
test results summary; timeouts and remote control would need to be
implemented by means of a per-test driver script or program though.
And of course the summary style is different from the dejagnu one ...
I'm not advocating anything here, but bringing up the topic only because
there's a Google Summer of Code project proposal to add subunit/TAP test
protocol support to Automake[1], and if that makes it a more viable
target for GCC, or if there are things missing that we should maybe
lookout for and try to cater to, then I'm very interested in details
early, while the proposal is still in the planning stage.
Thanks,
Ralf
