+# Run a make test.  See the documentation of run_make_test() in
+# run_make_tests.pl, but briefly the first argument is a string with the
+# contents of a makefile to be tested, the second is a string containing the
+# arguments to be passed to the make invocation, the third is a string
+# containing the expected output.  The fourth is the expected exit code for
+# make.  If not specified, it's assumed that the make program should succeed

-# In this call to compare output, you should use the call &get_logfile(1)
-# to send the name of the last logfile created.  You may also use
-# the special call &get_logfile(1) which returns the same as &get_logfile(1).
