I'm really interested in any hack for running
dejagnu with a windsh based connexion.
I've been further in the process and now I have
a problem I won't fix until I connect using windsh.
When using windsh we do not directly use the vxworks
loader. The windsh loader does some obscure work to
make the target understand elf objects and the plain
VxWorks loader can't handle such files by itself.
For instance when trying to load objects from a
telnet session I've got lots of
"Relocation value does not fit in 24 bits" while
the same objects work fine when loaded from the windsh.

I can have a look at the patches and try to help fixing them.
Please send them.
