Hi Paul and All.

Thanks for making the following document available :

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqltest/en/index.html

A couple of suggestions : is it possible to augment the tutorial with
sections about

- Running a test case under a debugger (options --ddd, --client-ddd and
the like)

- Running a test case with gcov / gprof (how to do a gcov / gprof build,
where to look at the results)

- Running a test case with valgrind (what --valgrind options to use,
where to look at the results : var/log/master.err and the like)

In each case, someone can figure this out with a bit of research,
but I think having a tutorial with a basic example :
- saves a lot of time
- advertises more explicitly how test cases can be leveraged to do much
more that just a PASS/FAIL result.

Just my 2 cents :)

Thanks,
Marc Alff.
