Log:
docs/TestingGuide: Rip out description of old nightly tester infrastructure. The
official recommendation is to use LNT instead. I will write docs on setting up
an LNT installation for submission to llvm.org, one day.

-<p>
-The <a href="http://llvm.org/nightlytest/">LLVM Nightly Testers</a>
-automatically check out an LLVM tree, build it, run the "nightly" 
-program test (described above), run all of the DejaGNU tests, 
-delete the checked out tree, and then submit the results to 
-<a href="http://llvm.org/nightlytest/">http://llvm.org/nightlytest/</a>. 
-After test results are submitted to 
-<a href="http://llvm.org/nightlytest/">http://llvm.org/nightlytest/</a>,
-they are processed and displayed on the tests page. An email to 
-<a href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-testresults/">
-llvm-testresults at cs.uiuc.edu</a> summarizing the results is also generated. 
-This testing scheme is designed to ensure that programs don't break as well 
-as keep track of LLVM's progress over time.</p>
-
-<p>If you'd like to set up an instance of the nightly tester to run on your 
-machine, take a look at the comments at the top of the 
-<tt>utils/NewNightlyTest.pl</tt> file. If you decide to set up a nightly tester 
-please choose a unique nickname and invoke <tt>utils/NewNightlyTest.pl</tt> 
-with the "-nickname [yournickname]" command line option. 
-
-<p>You can create a shell script to encapsulate the running of the script.
-The optimized x86 Linux nightly test is run from just such a script:</p>
-
-<div class="doc_code">
-<pre>
-#!/bin/bash
-BASE=/proj/work/llvm/nightlytest
-export BUILDDIR=$BASE/build 
-export WEBDIR=$BASE/testresults 
-export LLVMGCCDIR=/proj/work/llvm/cfrontend/install
-export PATH=/proj/install/bin:$LLVMGCCDIR/bin:$PATH
-export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/proj/install/lib
-cd $BASE
-cp /proj/work/llvm/llvm/utils/NewNightlyTest.pl .
-nice ./NewNightlyTest.pl -nice -release -verbose -parallel -enable-linscan \
-   -nickname NightlyTester -noexternals > output.log 2>&1 
-</pre>
-</div>
-
-<p>It is also possible to specify the the location your nightly test results
-are submitted. You can do this by passing the command line option
-"-submit-server [server_address]" and "-submit-script [script_on_server]" to
-<tt>utils/NewNightlyTest.pl</tt>. For example, to submit to the llvm.org 
-nightly test results page, you would invoke the nightly test script with 
-"-submit-server llvm.org -submit-script /nightlytest/NightlyTestAccept.cgi". 
-If these options are not specified, the nightly test script sends the results 
-to the llvm.org nightly test results page.</p>
-
-<p>Take a look at the <tt>NewNightlyTest.pl</tt> file to see what all of the
-flags and strings do.  If you start running the nightly tests, please let us
-know. Thanks!</p>
