Sorry to come to this thread so late, but I'd just like to say
that dejagnu is like democracy -- it's the worst system imaginable, 
except for all the others.

I say so as someone who used to have to maintain a test suite
for a debugger without benefit of expect or dejagnu.  You have
no idea what a world of difference it makes, just to be able to
test with regular expressions!

I don't mean to invalidate any of the complaints about either
the testsuite or its documentation.  Especially the documentation.
