-Tests can be assigned categories to restrict what program they
-are applied to (eg, pdksh, ksh88, etc.).  The following are
-a list of names to be used for various shells (to keep things
-consistent):
-
-    sh		generic		any v7 bourne shell like thing
-    sh-v	generic		any system V bourne shell like thing
-    ksh		generic		any ksh
-    posix	generic		basic posix shell
-    posix-upu	generic		'user portability utility' options
-    sh-v7	specific	the real v7 bourne shell
-    sh-sysv	specific	the real sysv bourne shell
-    pdksh	specific	public domain ksh
-    ksh88	specific	at&t ksh88
-    ksh93	specific	at&t ksh93
-    bash	specific	GNU bourne-again shell
-
-The idea is to categorize all the tests according to the 'best match'
-(most generic thing).  All generics that apply should be specified.
-Generally, at most one specific shell will be given.
-
-At the moment, most (all) tests have not been categorized (any volunteers?).
