First off, the documentation seems badly out of date (apparently stopped at 
version 1.4, 2006).

   Second, it has problems with its formatting and contents.  Specifically:

   2.4, p. 4
   XFAIL is not defined.  The paragraph supposed to give the definition talks 
about PASS and XPASS instead.

   p.5
   "you must avoid the setupxfail} procedure"

   3.1, p. 6, Example 1
   The expected output shown has incorrect line breaks (and a line truncated):

dgt:~/dejagnu.test$ runtest
WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.

Should instead be:

dgt:~/dejagnu.test$ runtest
WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.

=== Summary ===

The actual output of the test is somewhat different, but that may be because 
the version si now 1.5-3.

   3.1.2, p. 7

/usr/share/doc/dejagnu/examples does not exist. Neither are the git sources of 
any help. Where are the dejagnu examples?
