The intention is to take the output of curl's --libcurl option,
as exercised in test 14xx, and generate a corresponding test15xx
in which the generated code is compiled and run. This will verify
that the generated code behaves equivalently to the original
invocation of the curl command.

The script is not yet integrated into the configure / makefile
machinery.

+# Read a test definition which exercises curl's --libcurl option.
+# Generate either compilable source code for a new test tool,
+# or a new test definition which runs the tool and expects the
+# same output.
+# This should verify that the --libcurl code really does perform
+# the same actions as the original curl invocation.
+#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+# The output of curl's --libcurl option differs in several ways from
+# the code needed to integrate with the test tool environment:
+# - #include "test.h"
+# - no call of curl_global_init & curl_global_cleanup
+# - main() function vs. test() function
+# - no checking of curl_easy_setopt calls vs. test_setopt wrapper
+# - handling of stdout
+# - variable names ret & hnd vs. res & curl
+# - URL as literal string vs. passed as argument
