As it was me who asked and you spent time responding and none else
seemed to bother, I felt to obliged to give it a first shot. :-)

This is by *no* means perfect, but I'd like to see this serving as a
starting point.

Okay to install?

	* README: New file. General information about the testsuite and 
	new description of the various C++ test subdirectories.
	* README.g++: Eliminate obsolete information, update and move most
	relevant stuff to README.

-   This is a collection of tests for g++, the FSF's C++ compiler. The
- driver that runs the testsuite is called DejaGnu.  If you do not have
- DejaGnu yet, you will need to get it (ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/dejagnu).
- You will need a snapshot of DejaGnu of 02/21/97 or later.  The tests
- were developed and/or collected by Cygnus Support. These tests are
- included "as is". If any of the tests fail, don't report a bug.  Bug
- reports for DejaGnu can go to bug-dejagnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.  Discussion
- and comments about this testsuite can be sent to me, at the address
- below.
- 
-   Since these are part of the development source tree at Cygnus, this
- tar file is supposed to be untarred so that the testsuite directory is
- in the gcc source tree. Most of the time DejaGnu is run by hand using
- "runtest", but as we believe in solid testing, we've integrated it
- into the Makefile as a target. We normally use the testsuite by doing
- a "make all; make check-g++" at the top level and building and testing
- our whole tree.  If you have both the gcc testsuite and the g++
- testsuite, you can check both with the "make check" command.
- 
-   DejaGnu can be run either installed, or uninstalled. Usually it gets
- installed so that anyone can just run the tests without having to
- configure or build DejaGnu.
- 
    To run the tests, first change to the gcc-2.7.1 directory, then type:
  
  	runtest --tool g++ --srcdir ./testsuite
