    Brenda J. Butler authored
    This should be a general test architecture, and yet allow specific
    tests to be done.  Introduce a plugin architecture.
    
    An individual test has 4 stages, setup/execute/verify/teardown.  Each
    plugin gets a chance to run a function at each stage, plus one call
    before all the tests are called ("pre" suite) and one after all the
    tests are called ("post" suite).  In addition, just before each
    command is executed, the plugin gets a chance to modify the command
    using the "adjust_command" hook.  This makes the test suite quite
    flexible.
    
    Future patches will take some functionality out of the tdc.py script and
    place it in plugins.
    
    To use the plugins, place the implementation in the plugins directory
    and run tdc.py.  It will notice the plugins and use them.
