[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | Make some tests more portable (!819)

[Development of GNU's TLS library]

Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos started a new discussion on tests/cert-tests/certtool:

>  		exit 1

> -	if test $? != 0;then
> -		cat ${TMPFILE2}
> -		echo "cert generation failed"
> -		exit 1
> +	#check whether password is being honoured
> +	${SETSID} "${CERTTOOL}" --generate-self-signed --load-privkey ${TMPFILE1} --template ${srcdir}/templates/template-test.tmpl --ask-pass >${TMPFILE2} 2>&1 <<EOF
> +$PASS

> +	if test $? != 0; then

That's tricky here. If we do that and `--ask-pass' consistently fails due to a regression the test will still succeed on all systems. What about adding a configure option to disable such tests?
