Hi Ben,
Here is some documentation snippet for test_timeout. I'm not really sure that
this is the most appropriate location for it... I looked for related variables,
settings, but could not really find anything too close to it. Let me know if
you had something else in mind.
Feel free to squash this together with the other git commit that introduces the
new variable, if you feel that is appropriate.
Here's a ChangeLog snippet too:
* doc/user.xml: document new test_timeout variable of site.exp.
* doc/dejagnu.texi: Regenerate.
Thanks!
Filipe
