Description Carlos O'Donell 2016-01-13 21:02:26 UTC
In order to increase the robustness of the testsuite we should backport Arjun's upstream conversions to test-skeleton.c as this gives us better timeout control over tests. Without this patch all the tests changed might never terminate and need to wait for the build to timeout.

    Modify several tests to use test-skeleton.c
    
    This patch modifies several test cases to use test-skeleton.c.
    It was generated by a bash script written for this purpose and
    thus excludes several other tests which I deemed worth a visual
    inspection before making the change.
    
    I intend to follow up with individual patches to the tests
    skipped by the script.
    
    The script itself resides at http://git.io/WODAmg and should
    reproduce this very patch when run against master.
