I've swapped all of my testing to lit since all I do is native and  
it's been great.  I'm definitely in favor of Chris's suggestion that  
we move to that as the default.

One quick feature question: one of the nifty things about dejagnu  
(really the only nifty thing) is that it supported remote execution of  
binaries - I don't use that right now, but other people may. Any idea  
if you plan on having lit support that? Honestly I doubt it would be  
hard in python. Probably a "if someone has a need" feature? :)
