+Test suite for vw:
+
+You may add arbitrary (train/test/varying-options) tests
+by adding data (train, test) files and their expected reference
+STDOUT and STDERRs
+
+Test to run should be added below the __DATA__ section in RunTests
+
+Tests are separated by an empty line
+Each test is represented by a pair or triplet of items
+   1st item is the command to run, {VW} represents the vw executable
+   2nd item is the expected (reference file) standard output
+   3rd item is the expected (reference file) standard error
+file-names are relative to this (test) directory
+
+Examples:
+
+__DATA__
+# Test 1:
+{VW} -d train-sets/0001.dat -f models/0001.model
+    train-sets/ref/0001.stdout
+    train-sets/ref/0001.stderr
+
+# Test 2:
+{VW} -t train-sets/0001.dat -i models/0001.model
+    test-sets/ref/0001.stdout
+    test-sets/ref/0001.stderr
+
+# Test 3: without -d, training only
+{VW} train-sets/0002.dat    -f models/0002.model
+    train-sets/ref/0002.stdout
+    train-sets/ref/0002.stderr
+
+# Test 4: same, with -d
+{VW} -d train-sets/0002.dat    -f models/0002.model
+    train-sets/ref/0002.stdout
+    train-sets/ref/0002.stderr
