I think we would also need to specify what the output format is in the
specification.

The best place to start is here:

http://www.linuxbase.org/test/build_test_suites.html

I think the test cases themselves will probably best fit into a
modified vsc-lite (commands & utilities) test suite but I have to talk
to Andrew about that first.
