[tap-l] Outputting TAP from the shell

[Patrick LeBoutillier]

Hi all,

I published a small BASH library that outputs TAP. I called it
'tap-functions' and it's modeled after libtap/JTap.
All the details are here in the TAP wiki:
http://testanything.org/wiki/index.php/Tap-functions

Usage is pretty basic, the only thing that needs some getting used to
is the fact that functions that expect boolean values, like 'ok' and
'skip', take 0 to mean success and everything else to mean false (in
accordance with the usual shell script logic).

I have performed basic testing and it looks pretty good, but if anyone
has the time to try it out to see how useable it is that'd be great.
As usual all comments/suggestions are welcome.


Cheers,

Patrick
