I'm ok with that.

Well, that is a good question. The differencies between Open Posix
Testsuite and the rest of the LTP aren't too big so it may be possible
to create a test driver for both and share most of the code. On the
other hand. To just run the tests you just need to export right
VARIABLES and modify PATH accordingly. To collect the result you need to
translate the test return values.

On the other hand I'm not even sure about all the features that ltp-pan
has and what subset of them is used by different people. But I will
surely like to have more up to date test driver that produces more
usefull data.

There are couple possibilities what we can do.

We may start creating something that could run the Open Posix Testsuite
and then gradually extend it to work with the rest of the LTP adding all
the features we would need while deprecating the ltp-pan and removing it
once we have full replacement.

Or we may look if there is something to fit our meets out there
allready and modify it to meet our needs.

Or anything that any of you may come up with.
