Previously, if test-foo.out doesn't exist and test-foo outputs
something, the first line of the diff will look like this:

(note the leading "-")
Revision f2f17143efd1 disallowed tests that have a '.' in the name, but
that also disallows tests that end in .py and .bat, even though run-tests.py
has some code to special case them.
As e.g. test-http-proxy already takes quite some time (about a minute here)
and tests usually should clean up after themselves, the timeout should only be
hit in case of other problems.
test timeout feature is needed for test with python 2.5 beta. if test
does not complete in time (30 seconds is default), it is killed.
some times daemon process used in test can be alive after the test
is killed by user or by timeout. tests now record daemon pids into
$DAEMON_PIDS and run-tests.py kills all living daemons after every test.
final little change is to add newline to end of pid file printed by
"hg serve", else "cat hg.pid >> $DAEMON_FILES" gives garbage.
this is wanted because some tests run python interpreter directly.
must use same python interpreter in tests as in main harness or problems
will happen because of e.g. different python abi if run-tests.py run
with python 2.5 but system python is 2.4.
fix is to see if system python is used and is named python. if no,
put symlink called python at front of shell search path.
