        * makefile.rules (run runall run_all): Add dependency on runutil utility
        * GNUmakefile.exm, GNUmakefile.tst: Add rule to build the runutil

I suspect that some changes may be required before submission, but I also consider this to be in a mostly usable state. A pair of useful features that the older runall.sh script has that are currently lacking in this replacement are the coloring of the output and an incremental progress display while a test/example is running. I hope to add both these features at some point in the future. * GNUmakefile (BINDIR): Add and use convenience variable referencing the bin subdirectory of the buildspace * GNUmakefile.exm (RUNFLAGS): Change command line switch used to specify input/output file directory to match switch expected by runutil utility * run_locale_utils.sh: Change default output file to /dev/stdout, add test driver style assertion count summary * *.cpp, *.h: Add source files for C reimplementation of the runall.sh shell script.

Attached is a diff against subversion r424097, integrating the runall.sh replacement script into the makefile infrastructure. I don't think this version is ready for submission into subversion, as there are multiple issues with it. One issue is that the executable builds and links as a C++ utility (like the locale and localedef utilities), though it is written in what I believe to be pure C. Another issue is that there are several (corner) cases in the watchdog subsystem (watchdog.cpp) that need to be sorted out. I have tried to document all the .cpp files with JavaDoc style Doxygen comments.
