Hey, Dmitry.  Thanks so much for reworking Pieter's original test suite
improvements.  I think this new approach is a bit less invasive and a
little more elegant to work with.

I've looked through the patchs, and they all look ok on first glance
(barring any possibly needed modifications that I'm not seeing).  I have
a couple of comments to follow.

However, when I tried to test the tests with the patch applied I ran
into one problem.  If I try to run the test suite with dtach
uninstalled, it looks like I'm experiencing a hang on
emacs_deliver_message call.  I wonder if either emacs_deliver_message or
test_emacs is not doing the right thing in the case of no dtach.  I
think emacs_deliver_message should somehow not require dtach, since it's
not actually testing any display stuff, but because it's currently using
test_emacs, it is somehow implicitly depending on it.  Any thoughts on
how to fix that?

jamie.
