+1 for me. I would prefer the (2)s in both categories. Keeping the current syntax for smoketest run is good. But it won't hurt if additional options are required when we want to compare against other processors.

Please respond to
xalan-dev
To simplify Gordon's question, would you (as a developer of patches to
Xalan) prefer:
(1) You get the set of gold/silver files of interest to you by checking
out the accept-gold tree with a particular tag, or
(2) one check-out gives you numerous accept-silver-* trees?
Along with the above, do you prefer:
(1) To run the smoketest as you do now, knowing that it will compare
results against whatever is in the accept-gold tree, or
(2) run the smoketest in a slightly different way, where you tell it
processor, entity-escaping policy, and possibly more?
I also think that some might like to get the best of both worlds by
having an automated way to move silver files into the gold tree. In
fact, ant could probably address this.
