------------------
If you do not supply any arguments to ./runtest, it searches for an Exim
-source tree at the same level as the test suite directory. It then looks for an
-Exim binary in a "build" directory of that source tree. If there are several
-Exim source trees, it chooses the latest version of Exim. Consider the
-following example:
+source tree at the same level as the test suite directory. A source tree
+is a source tree, if it contains a build-* directory.

+It then looks for an Exim binary in a "build" directory of that source
+tree. If there are several Exim source trees, it chooses the latest
+version of Exim. Consider the following example:
$ ls -F /source/exim
exim-4.60/ exim-4.62/ exim-testsuite-x.xx/
(If it turns out that most people prefer to use diff, I'll change
the default.)
+ -FLAVOR <flavor>
+ -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
+ into that flavour file!

-KEEP Normally, after a successful run, the test output files are
deleted. This option prevents this. It is useful when running a
single test, in order to look at the actual output before it is
