+       tests: fix spurious failure of txinfo21.test on FreeBSD
+       * tests/txinfo21.test: Use the `is_newest' subroutine instead of
+       the `ls -t' hack to to determine whether a file has been updated.
+       This is required because at least FreeBSD `ls' do not sort files
+       with the same timestamp in alphabetical order when using the `-t'
+       option.

 +
 +      tests: fix syntax error in 'silentcxx-gcc.test'
 +      * tests/silentcxx-gcc.test (for config_args in ...): Remove extra
 +      trailing backslash from the list of looped-on items.

 +
 +      depmod tests: fix bug in depmodes list extraction
 +      * tests/depmod-tests.sh (get_depmodes): Use `echo $all_depmodes'
 +      instead of `... | tr "$nl" "$sp"' to strip extra whitespaces and
 +      newlines from `$all_depmodes'.  The latter idiom with `tr' is
 +      wrong since it gets run before `./defs' is sourced, and thus `$nl'
 +      and `$sp' are undefined.
 +      Bug revealad by FreeBSD tr(1) implementation, which doesn't accept
 +      empty strings as arguments.

 +
 +      tests: add excerpts from few original bug reports, for clarity.
 +      * tests/comment6.test: Add excerpts and/or details from the
 +      original bug report that prompted this tests to be added and/or
 +      extended.
 +      * tests/dejagnu4.test: Likewise.
 +      * tests/installdir.test: Likewise.
