-Written 2004, Karl Berry. Public domain.
-
-The asytestlibs.asy file is for testing various optional libraries that
-can be linked with Asymptote. See
-http://tug.org/texlive/build.html#asymptote.
-
-
-Therest of the files are some basic tests for TeX Live being at all
-functional. They are not being run by any cron job and are no longer up
-to date; it proved too time-consuming to keep everything going, so they
-have been moribund for some years now. If anyone is interested, please
-go to work on it.
-
-The general idea is to have a "knowngood" dvi or pdf file, and compare
-it against the result of running with the current code.
-
-I wrote the DVI-comparing (which uses dvitype) script in Perl so it
-would have a chance of running under Windows. I don't know if it really
-does. Ditto the PDF-comparing script (which uses pdftoppm from the xpdf
-distribution).
-
-The numbers in the directory names are just an arbitrary prioritizing
-scheme, so simpler tests can be run before more complex ones. Several
-tests can have the same priority number.
-
-I don't intend to try to make this any kind of exhaustive testing, we're
-just trying to make sure the most obvious things aren't broken. The
-most important additional tests if they ever get resurrected are:
- 8-bit input (all common languages)
- pdfconcat
