-FLAVOUR <flavour>
This allows "overrides" for the test results. It's intended
use is to deal with distro specific differences in the test
- output. The default flavour is "foo". If during the test
- run differences between the current and the expected output
- are found and no flavour file exists already, you may update
- the "common" expected output or you may create a flavour
- file. If a flavour file already exists, any updates will go
+ output. The default flavour is "FOO" if autodetection fails.

+ flavours are computed after file name extensions in stdout/*
+ and stderr/*.)
