[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-4.0 0/2] test: replace gtester with a TAP driver

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

gtester is deprecated by upstream glib and it does not support tests
that call g_test_skip in some glib stable releases.

glib suggests instead using Automake's TAP support.  We do not support
Automake, but we can copy the code that beautifies the TAP output and
use it.  I chose to use the Perl copy rather than the shell/awk one,
in order to reuse Perl's TAP parsing package, but I'm open to suggestions
about which language to use.

Thanks,

Paolo
