+Use the "runtests.sh" script to test the output of all commands in "cmds.txt"
+against the output that the version of gentoolkit installed on the system
+yields.
+
+It's a great way to verify that a refactoring didn't affect output.
+
+Usage:
+
+$ cd cmdtests
+$ ./runtests.sh
+
+You can also test against a specific version of gentoolkit instead. Clone a
+copy of gentoolkit to test against and then do:
+
+$ cd cmdtests
+$ ./runtests.sh /path/to/othergentoolkit/pym
