[DejaGnu] A first attempt to new chapter in the DejaGnu manual

[Niklaus Giger]

I would like to get some comments whether a rewrite of the 
manual should include a chapter as outlined below. Any 
comments will be appreciated.

My personal experience was a very painful. I wasted a lot 
of time (more than a week) to get my first remote test 
running and I still haven't catched the real ideas how you 
should setup DejaGnu. But this is a first try, which might 
help others.

DejaGnu has a good reference manual but IMHO is really 
lacking a good introduction for newcomers.

I am willing to put in more time to polish this chapter and 
to integrate into the manual.

The SGML code produced is lacking a lot of tags (for 
http-references, filename etc). My vision is to edit 
everything using lyx as a WYSWYM (what you see is what you 
mean)-editor (see www.lyx.org). I know that I have to 
improve the docbook -> lyx perl script (or write my own 
one) to import the current manual. At least in LyX editing 
is easy and pleasant. Or is somebody else using a good 
graphical editor for SGML (docbook) texts?

Regards
