url_test: A Test Suite for Uniform Resource Identifier syntax

See also: My notes on all this stuff, available as:
	<http://www.hal.com/%7Econnolly/drafts/citations.html>

CONTENTS:
	*.tests -- test cases
	*.expected -- expected results from test cases

	url_grammar.tests -- tests for URL grammar usage
	url_ideas.test -- experimental ideas
	url_errors.test -- robustness tests, non-standard idioms

REQUIREMENTS:
	1. A version of make that understands include directives
	(or a little hacking with a text editor...)
	1. The libWWW source (for building the HTParse tester)
	2. An ANSI C compiler
	3. lex and yacc

USAGE:
	1. Edit Makefile.conf to indicate the ANSI C compiler
	2. invoke:
		make
	to build the test driver and run it on the test cases.
	If you get the same output I got, diff will be quiet.
	Otherwise, you'll see the differences.

	3. Add some test cases (e.g. your favorite CGI invocation
	syntax) and see what you get.
