Hi Rishabh.

in gnucap-uf, there are various sorts of tests. all of them should be
executed by "make check". most of them are of the kind 'compare
something gnucap produces with a reference'. here i chose '.gc' as
extension for gnucap scripts, and '.ref' as extension for the reference
files.

(actually, it doesnt matter much how the checks are implemented or how
extensions eventually look like. its more important to me that 'make
check' fails if something is wrong.)

it would probably be clever to not mess with the check target like i
did, but have autotools take care of everything [1]. i'd be happy to
know how this could be worked out...
