It updates some code in testsuite/lib to use the standard_* procs. Then it introduces parallel mode and the inotify mode; standard_temp_file, and finally caching procs. I think the commentary in each patch ought to explain it sufficiently. I built and regtested this on x86-64 Fedora 18. I also regtested it using native-gdbserver.exp. After this series, parallel mode still doesn't really work. More changes are necessary. This is explained in patch #2. Tom
