ACATS legal status cleared by FSF

    This is all fair.  How about a compromise position where you check the
    B tests into the CVS tree but don't bother adding dejagnu harnesses
    for them.  They are then instantly available if they are needed.

The issue is the *baselines*, not either the B tests themselves or the
test harness.  They must be checked in *and* actively maintained if
they are to be "instantly available".

One possibility is to run the B tests in a non-conventional way, where all
the test harness does is to check for the presence of at least one
error line for each line marked ERROR.  I don't know how hard such a
harness is to write, and that's not the way B tests are usually done, but
might work.

That would just leave the issue of splits, not baselines, and those change
less often.
