Re: Make tests compatible for gcj's testsuite

Hi Robert,

Its easy to add tests to the libgcj test suite. All you need to do is 
place the test case (in one .java file) in 
libjava/testsuite/libjava.lang. The test class should generally be named 
after the bug number it is for, ie: PR24616.java. If the test produces 
some output, put the expected output in PR24616.out. If the test is 
expected/known to fail, similarly add a .xfail file.

Once its in there, just run "make check" and the testsuite should find 
the new test automatically. You can also run an individual test like so:

make check RUNTESTFLAGS="lang.exp=PR24616"
