4A lot of the tests written in C use assert(), only printing 'ok' at the end
5of the program if none of the assert()s fired.
6
7This is wrong.  They should do the test outside of an assert(), and print
8'ok' or 'not ok' as appropriate, instead of bailing out part way through.
9That way if a test starts failing we'll know exactly which one failed, and
10the other tests can continue.
11
12This probably means a simple libtest.so that they can link against to
13provide an ok() function (the non-fatal assert), probably with some helper
14functions to keep track of test numbers and so on.

18Any of the tests written in C should link against the libraries under
19/usr/obj rather than using the system libraries.

23Not everything's been converted to the new style.  In particular;
24
25   atm/
26   ccd/
27   some of geom_*/
28   some of netinet/
29   nfsmmap/
30   p1003_1b/
31   some of pipe/
32   security/
33   some of sockets/
34   tls/
35
36needs to be converted.  And fsx/ and gaithrstress/ are (I think) standalone
37programs rather than individual tests, so aren't amenable to this sort of
38conversion.
