###
#
# This is a "Work in Progress" attempt at a python script to run the
# various regression tests.  The rationale for this is that it should be
# possible to run this on most major platforms, including those (such as
# Windows) which don't support gnu Make.
#
# The script is driven by a parameter file which defines the various tests
# to be run, together with the unique settings for each of these tests.  A
# script for Linux is included (regressions.xml), with comments indicating
# the significance of the various parameters.  To run the tests under Windows,
# edit regressions.xml and remove the comment around the default parameter
# "<execpath>" (i.e. make it point to the location of the binary executables).
#
# Note that this current version requires the Python bindings for libxml2 to
# have been previously installed and accessible
#
# See Copyright for the status of this software.

# This routine is used for comparing the expected stdout / stdin with the results.
# The expected data has already been read in; the result is a file descriptor.
# Within the two sets of data, lines may begin with a path string.  If so, the
# code "relativises" it by removing the path component.  The first argument is a
# list already read in by a separate thread; the second is a file descriptor.
# The two 'base' arguments are to let me "relativise" the results files, allowing
# the script to be run from any directory.
