I have a large collection of PS files that have been sent to me
over the years that I use for basic testing, but ultimately it
will just evolve as we get more good and bad PS files to test
against.

The current code isn't perfect, and I'd like to hook into
Ghostscript to do some of the harder tests (e.g. no changing of
the graphics state outside of a page definition, etc.)

I'm guessing this could be supported quite easily with a few
modifications to the existing run-stp-tests.sh script, which
already handles most of what you are doing...

You can already run "make test" to get a copy of the current
scheduler running on port 8631 in the background.  We can add
another target that passes in the necessary arguments to skip
all of the prompts (just like "make check" does), and we can
add scripts to the tools directory for running commands against
the test server and/or setting environment variables.  I already
do this on my own systems when testing CUPS builds...
