* For tools replacing the malloc library (e.g. Memcheck, Helgrind, ...),
the option --redzone-size=<number> allows to control the padding
blocks (redzones) added before and after each client allocated block.
Smaller redzones decrease the memory needed by Valgrind. Bigger
redzones increase the chance to detect blocks overrun or underrun.

and update exp files accordingly. This works well for x86
and all testcases pass on my machine.
New file filter_memcheck to do the work.
There is a bit of a ripple here as filter_memcheck requires
command line arguments to be passed in. So all users of
filter_memcheck (direct or indirect) were updated as well.
filter_stderr was simplified as was filter_libc.

following improvements:
- Arch/OS/platform-specific files are now included/excluded via the
preprocessor, rather than via the build system. This is more consistent
(we use the pre-processor for small arch/OS/platform-specific chunks
within files) and makes the build system much simpler, as the sources for
all programs are the same on all platforms.
- Vast amounts of cut+paste Makefile.am code has been factored out. If a
new platform is implemented, you need to add 11 extra Makefile.am lines.
Previously it was over 100 lines.
- Vex has been autotoolised. Dependency checking now works in Vex (no more
incomplete builds). Parallel builds now also work. --with-vex no longer
works; it's little use and a pain to support. VEX/Makefile is still in
the Vex repository and gets overwritten at configure-time; it should
probably be renamed Makefile-gcc to avoid possible problems, such as
accidentally committing a generated Makefile. There's a bunch of hacky
copying to deal with the fact that autotools don't handle same-named files
in different directories. Julian plans to rename the files to avoid this
problem.
- Various small Makefile.am things have been made more standard automake
style, eg. the use of pkginclude/pkglib prefixes instead of rolling our
own.
- The existing five top-level Makefile.am include files have been
consolidated into three.
- Most Makefile.am files now are structured more clearly, with comment
headers separating sections, declarations relating to the same things next
to each other, better spacing and layout, etc.
- Removed the unused exp-ptrcheck/tests/x86 directory.
- Renamed some XML files.
- Factored out some duplicated dSYM handling code.
- Split auxprogs/ into auxprogs/ and mpi/, which allowed the resulting
Makefile.am files to be much more standard.
- Cleaned up m_coredump by merging a bunch of files that had been
overzealously separated.
The net result is 630 fewer lines of Makefile.am code, or 897 if you exclude
the added Makefile.vex.am, or 997 once the hacky file copying for Vex is
removed. And the build system is much simpler.

determinism and portability.
- Update the xml1 .exp files accordingly (getting rid of one which is no
longer necessary).
- Update origin4-many.stderr.exp accordingly.
- Update the handling of scalar_exit_group accordingly.

- Created Makefile.tool-tests.am, put standard AM_CFLAGS et al for tests in
it.
- A number of tests are shared between Helgrind and DRD. They used to be
built in both directories. Now they are only built in helgrind/tests/,
and the DRD .vgtest files just point to the executable in helgrind/tests/.
Most of these (about 30) had the source files in helgrind/tests/; I moved
the three that were in drd/tests/ into helgrind/tests/ for consistency.
- Fixed rwlock_test, which was failing to run due to a wrong name in the
.vgtest file.
- Removed remnants of unused 'hello' test for Memcheck.
- Avoided redundant flag specification in various places, esp.
memcheck/tests/Makefile.am.
- Removed unnecessary _AIX guards in some Linux-only tests.

I changed it to just filter the entire stack trace out for these errors (both
normal and XML cases). The syscall name is still present in the error
string. This allows a one or more alternative expected output files to be
removed for several tests, which is A Very Good Thing.
Also, I killed filter_test_paths because it was weird and clumsy and the
above change obviated most of its use and the remaining effects could be
achieved in other ways.
Also, I fixed up the scalar* tests a little and they now pass on my machine,
(and hopefully at least some other machines) for the first time ever!

'__libc_start_main', in Massif, m_debuginfo and m_stacktrace. As part of
this, --show-below-main is now visible to tools, and Massif pays attention
to it.
Improved the description of --show-below-main=yes in the manual.
Replaced some instances of "__libc_start_main" in the test *.exp files with
"(below main)", which is what will actually be seen. Also updated
scalar.stderr.exp*, which should make it get closer to actually passing.
